After a long absence, the singer will offer video-concerts from his home in Los Angeles.

What was hidden behind Polnareff’s glasses was already impenetrable. And here we are offered to enter into his thoughts. A dreamlike and allegorical 360 degree immersion projection. The opportunity to re-listen to a few tracks from an exceptional work. That of a young gifted singer who played hide and seek to maintain his myth and prepare for a necessarily triumphant return. In the 1960s, it was in Paris, rue Oberkampf, that Michel Polnareff prepared his career. For six years, Polnareff will thus confiscate the top of the charts.

In 1972, Polnareff still did not hide much, which earned him censorship. In 2007, a simple pair of glasses was enough to announce the event. Polnareff returned for good after thirty years of absence in France. Always at the forefront, Michel Polnareff now wants to use teleworking as an artistic work. This will be the meaning of his video-concerts from his home in Los Angeles next September.
