Get set to be embraced by the fervour of French cabaret at its best, as Kulcha presents Belle-Etoile, the latest show from the effervescent Pascale.
Be smitten by the passion and allure of French glamour as Pascale debuts original compositions alongside her trademark Edith Piaf favourites. By popular demand, this charming singer will present an enigmatic stage show at the University of Western Australia’s Octagon Theatre. Pascale will be joined by a passionate four piece band in this luminous performance.
Pascale is renowned for first class entertainment and will sparkle with a voice as precious as a fiery gem as she presents jewel after jewel of enchanting songs. This petite charmer embraces French cabaret culture and ensnares the romantic passions of the audience with her powerful and passionate voice.
Pascale captures hearts with her sultry and smooth presence and engages her audience with witty, observational humour. Her performances attract a diverse audience of indie music hipsters, curiosity seekers, long-standing fans and, of course, lovers of cabaret.
Her musical career began in Paris at the age of five, where she sang at her father’s vegetable and fruit market stall in Rue Alesia to attract customers. Pascale says she was ‘little French Shirley Temple on the block!’
The day she set foot in Australia in the mid-1980’s she realized she was ‘destined to entertain.’
‘Coming straight from my hometown in Paris was such a culture shock, but the word impossible is not in the French dictionary, so I set out to bring my culture and heritage to this wonderful land,’ says Pascale.
She commenced performing cabaret shortly after her arrival in WA, and the attendance at her concerts quickly grew.
‘When I first started, the audiences were intrigued, but not quite ready to allow themselves be transported to a foreign destination,’ she says.
‘Audiences started to listen and open their hearts to the melodies and rhythms that were already so familiar to me.’
Pascale has performed at myriad venues, ranging from guest appearances alongside Ernie Dingo in the Australian TV series Clowning Around to luring audiences at the Government House, His Majesty’s Theatre, Burswood Casino, and the Hyatt and Sheraton hotels. She toured to a sell-out audience at The Esplanade Hotel in Albany and is currently meeting with bookers in Sydney to arrange a NSW tour.
She hopes people who see her perform are ‘able to take with them a souvenir of France, and especially a feeling of love; a feeling that we are one!’
Presented by Kulcha, Pascale’s Belle-Etoile is a French cabaret performance for those who dare to love. Don’t miss this one-off concert which will be a night to remember – amongst the glowing starry brilliance that embodies Pascale’s joie de vivre.
The show is on Saturday October 6 at 8pm at the Octagon Theatre, University of Western Australia. Bookings are a must. Tickets only through BOCS on 9484 1133 or www.bocsticketing.com.au.
