What's on?
15 October to 28 February 2021
The first exhibition entirely devoted to Pierre Dac (1893-1975). More than 250 family archive documents and excerpts from films and television and radio programmes will highlight the life and work of this humourist, this master of language, who contributed to the birth modern radio. It shows Pierre Dac's musical and literary creativity, his sources, the role of parody and satire, and his very diverse modes of expression. It also evokes his close associates, Francis Blanche, Louis Rognoni, Jean Yanne and Pierre Tchernia. Finally, the exhibition explores resonances of his Jewishness in his personal, public and artistic life.
Exhibition curators: Anne Hélène Hoog and Jacques Pessis
