Event Series Event Series (See All)

When Parisian Chic Meets Outback Grit!

Through timeless melodies, untold stories and the echoes of a long-lost diary, Mathilde—our fearless French chanteuse—takes you on an adventure across continents and decades.

Step into a world where past and present dance together, where the smoky jazz clubs of Montmartre meet the red dust of the Top End.

From the 1920s dazzling cabarets of Paris to the wild landscapes of Australia, she sings of love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams, inherited and newly discovered. Fuelled by her father’s love of music, a grandmother’s daring spirit, and a voice that soars, Mathilde proves that music, like adventure, knows no borders.

With wit, charm and maybe even a high kick or two! She invites you on the cheapest trip to France you’ll ever take—no passport required!

Be conquered by this perfect musical mix of champagne with a cold one, a Parisian Pint that packs a punch!

Sit back, relax and… Bon voyage!

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Mathilde, a French-born performer, has called the Top End home for nearly 15 years.
Growing up in a small village near Paris, her love for music—and particularly French tunes—was ignited by her father.

After falling for a local boy at 20, Mathilde spent eight whirlwind years in love.
When the flame faded, a new fire was lit: her own voice. For five years, she travelled the world, pushing boundaries and uncovering her truest self. Music became her compass.

Back in Darwin, she began sharing her powerful voice, interpreting French and international classics on local stages. From Bastille Day celebrations to collaborations with local bands, Mathilde has captivated audiences with her unique sound.

This year, she debuts her first cabaret at the Darwin Fringe Festival, blending storytelling, songs, and raw emotions.
Special thanks to her Artistic Director, Ilena Solaja, for her invaluable support in bringing this show to life.
