"It is a series of songs written by Jacques Brel, a Belgian born poet and singer living in Paris, who wrote about human emotions, about bulls, a statue, and a carousel. All elements of the production combine to produce the garnet of emotions Brel felt, from sentimental ballads to sardonic comments about the world we live in."
