About Arnaud Askoy
Arnaud Askoy brings Chanson Française icon Jacques Brel to life in The Brel Promise at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Arnaud is not Brel, but to hear him and see him, one could believe it. His striking resemblance, powerful vocal imprint, and respect for Brel's fundamental tools of staging provide the necessary physical elements of the show. Combined with Roland Romanelli's original arrangements, it is the personal flame of Arnaud Askoy himself that gives birth to something magical — a promise fulfilled. The performance runs 70 minutes.
Why see this show?
If you have never seen a tribute performer truly disappear into their subject, Arnaud Askoy's inhabitation of Jacques Brel is something special. The combination of physical resemblance, vocal power, and Roland Romanelli's original arrangements creates an atmosphere of genuine magic.
