At L’Alliance New York, Vincent Dedienne brings *Vincent Dedienne en concert (un lendemain soir de gala)* to the city in a rock/pop live set framed as the day after a gala, when performance and its afterimage blur. Presented in French at an institution central to NYC’s Francophone cultural life, the show reads as a small act of translation as much as a concert. Dedienne’s presence ties chanson-inflected storytelling to pop structure, letting the lyrics carry the narrative weight. If this is a NYC premiere, it signals how French stage personas travel here without being smoothed into export.
