Stéphane Bern & Matthieu Noël SEASON 2021 - 20226:20 p.m., June 17, 2022
Historically Yours brings together 3 characters who have the Mississippi in their skin: the writer Mark Twain who imagined “Tom Sawyer” on paper, a childhood hero who, like him, grew up on the banks of the Mississippi which irrigated all his work, with talent, and humor too.
Then he has the Mississippi so much in his skin that he put it in his stage name too: the Mississippi bluesman John Hurt, who went from the cotton fields to the stage.
And a more contemporary Mississippi fan who canoed back 4,500 kilometers: American travel writer Eddy L. Harris.
