Belgian actress Marie Ledoux brings the songs of an iconic entertainer to the stage in Brussels this winter, dhnet.be reported.
Ledoux performs her cabaret act titled “Dalida, vous et moi” at the Centre Culturel d’Auderghem from December 8 to December 20, with tickets available through the cultural center’s website, dhnet.be reported. She has nothing to envy from contemporary stars such as Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez or Olivia Rodrigo, according to dhnet.be.
The production features the performer stepping into the signature style of the 1970s star. She previously tested the material during three performances at the Théâtre au Vert festival in Silly last August. Those three performances gave her the desire to go further and to remix certain passages, noting that she would like this show to live and travel.
“L’idée me trottait dans la tête depuis un certain temps sans pour autant que j’interprète régulièrement son répertoire,” Ledoux told dhnet.be.
Ledoux Adopts Visual Style and Vocal Style of the Artist
The show follows a fictionalized cabaret singer in her fifties who looks up to the legendary artist. Ledoux sings live over original backing tracks while adopting specific vocal characteristics.
“Je ne veux surtout pas l’imiter, je souhaite m’inscrire dans son univers visuel et scénique en m’appropriant les paillettes, les strass, les tenues élégantes, la posture et la gestuelle,” Ledoux told dhnet.be.
She routinely performs jazz standards at the Bar Magritte inside the Hotel Amigo near the Grand Place in Brussels. Her tribute set incorporates hits primarily from the 1970s alongside a nod to the 1950s.
“Je me suis récemment promenée dans le quartier, j’ai déjeuné au Moulin de la Galette à la table où une plaquette en cuivre porte son nom,” Ledoux told dhnet.be.

“Si Thomas Jolly cherche sa Dalida pour son spectacle, il peut m’appeler,” Ledoux told dhnet.be.
“S’il cherche encore sa Dalida, il peut penser à moi,” Ledoux told dhnet.be.
Performances for “Dalida, vous et moi” run from December 8 to December 20 at the Centre Culturel d’Auderghem. Tickets and booking details are listed on the official cultural center website at www.ccauderghem.be.
