Pierre Richard is passionate about jazz. At the height of his career, the actor, who was first discovered by the general public with Le Distrait and then Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire , joined forces with the Swingin'Affair quartet - where his son Olivier officiates - to celebrate great film music.
Pierre Richard recounts with his characteristic fantasy some real-life anecdotes that the group illustrates with music. Great scenes with Bernard Blier, Jean Carmet, Mireille Darc resurface in our memories… while soundtracks from films he loves take on unusual allure thanks to Swingin'Affair 's arrangements : Darth Vader and Duke Ellington chat at the Cotton Club bar while the Titanic sinks to the swaying strains of cool jazz and Les Tontons flingueurs sip their rotgut on Ipanema beach! The cherry on the cake is that you'll be tapping your feet in the company of the Tall Blond Man with a black tap shoe.
Humor, nostalgia, playful twists, filming secrets revealed... collide with the unstoppable pulse of swing.

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
