Jane Birkin

Singer, songwriter and actress Jane Birkin returns to the Barbican to perform tracks from her most recent album Oh! Pardon tu dormais… accompanied by her band. Oh! Pardon tu dormais…. was born in 2020 in collaboration with Étienne Daho and Jean-Louis Pierot. The album traces and soundtracks Birkin’s life – encompassing romance, tragedy and acceptance – weaving Birkin and Daho’s texts with Daho and Pierot’s music to create a wistful and reflective collection of ballads. Birkin most recently performed at the Barbican in 2017 to present a symphonic tribute to her long-term partner, Serge Gainsbourg and returns now, shifting focus onto her own experience and bringing with her, in her own words, “a backpack filled with memories”.
