This project brings so much energy and generosity that we wanted to Patrick Bruel.Et question is not just a songwriter of talent that we met, not just one of the most gifted actor but also and especially a good guy.
Interview with the singer engaged.
Reinharc David: You sing for Anaëlle.
What in his history, you hit?
Patrick Bruel: What touched me and upset, first and foremost, is my encounter with her.
outset, I was perplexed necessarily the child of seven years seemed to have any knowledge.
This girl spoke all languages. It was unbelievable, in the true sense.
Fortunately, people joined me and can testify.
Faced with irrationality, it is necessarily dubious.
Initially, yes, I was very puzzled and speeds the questions were swept away.
After discussions with some hills - including the Grand Rabbi Sitruk - he had to accept the obvious: there was something that we exceeded all it was a direct relationship with God.
My contact with her and some two years I spent at the meeting were very rewarding, emotionally charged.
I thought it was good to extend his message, his desire, his desire to build Jerusalem center for disadvantaged children, "the house of Anaëlle.
To perpetuate his memory and so that everything she now takes a more concrete through the realization of such a project.
His mission continues, although it is no longer there and I am a small vector of its mission.
DR: Can you comment on this event so special?
PB: That is something very personal, very intimate, very strong and has been important, at some point in my life.
We had a deep exchange and powerful. Almost
in agreement with it, it is undesirable that I recall our meeting.
I can say is someone who could bring much to others through his book too, but I can not go into detail about our relationship.
was extremely troubling, she told me about things that no one could know or imagine.
She left the day before my birthday, May 13, 2000, when I sang on stage "Elijah", a song I wrote then that I had been listening.
It was she who had told me prayer that I incorporated into the song.
She asked me to open the book of Psalms, I opened one that was randomly placed on the shelf and I fell on Psalm angels, who, as in the song talks about the transmission life.
DR: For this concert, you sing the traditional repertoire?
PB: A priori, the usual repertoire.
There will be surprises since I have a few guests.
Especially, I would make this evening a singular moment, unique, fun and somewhat unique.
DR: The fact that a singer so popular his Jewishness openly claims he has caused particular reactions?
PB: I have never hidden that I was Jewish.
It's true that I said when I had some trouble with the National Front ..
That's when it attracted little violence: I refused to sing in cities held by the extreme right and this had led to loss of most of the FN leader
That said, I always displayed my identity without arrogance, always respecting other religions and other forms of belief or non belief.
I always tried to be one that attempts to gather and make sense and I have never tried to put myself in a debate pure, hard and violent.
I particularly among those who signed the Geneva Accord, I think that peace is possible: we must fight so that it all happens in one region of the world as complex and it starts with us too.
I mean it is important not to confuse between what is happening there and what we saw here.
DR: About Geneva Pact, have you committed knowingly, given that this text requires the return of millions of Palestinian refugees to Israel?
PB: From the moment we consider the possible creation of a Palestinian state must do everything to there.
If you are against the absolute principle of creating a Palestinian state, then this is not the same discussion, even debate.
I am one of those who think he must believe and do their utmost to achieve it.
I want to be optimistic. Of course, when you look at the facts, there is every reason to be afraid, and this concern that once gave his little finger, it will take our hand and arm ...
But at some point, the question is whether Israel will he continue to evolve in the region without the compromise and will exist if he made this compromise?
I think all the time that Arafat was an obstacle to peace, discussion, negotiation and since his death, it appears that efforts are being made on both sides to try to talk.
DR: Imagine the reaction French government if Arlette Laguillier passed an agreement with the FLNC, promising the independence of Corsica with the support of Cuba, all signed in London before an audience of media personalities ...
PB: C ' is greatly exaggerated.
The initiative came from civil society that had more symbolic value than anything else.
And I think the symbol was beautiful.
DR: A symbol, yes, but that deporting the democratic process in Israel and outside Israel, based on a text by the General Assembly UN (Resolution 194 of December 11, 1948) implies, by the application of refugees to "return" to Israel, the creation of two Palestinian states!
PB: I'm for the existence of a Palestinian state, not two, of course I did
maybe not enough or filled discussed above there but I do not think the people we went to Geneva might think that we support the creation of two Palestinian states.
DR: You were born in Algeria, a country that you left your mother in 1963.
For you, the results of French colonization is it positive or negative?
PB: I think there were some positive things and mistakes but we can not make a block and say that everything has been positive or that it was all a mistake.
course, there were the negative effects of colonization, injustice, blunders, errors in account, but also imported a whole culture, a social contribution.
My family and myself were not "settlers": my grandfather worked at the town hall, my parents were teachers, they learned to small Algerian read and write.
I do not see what was the negative role, in this case, my family.
I made a movie with Arcady: "The coup de Sirocco" which shows a family from Algeria. A family that got along well with the Arabs and do not quite understand what happens to him: life was sweet.
At the station, the first person Marthe Villalonga is directed an Algerian and emotionally because his heart goes to him.
In another film, "The big carnival," Philippe Noiret plays the role of a settler and all that that implies its relationship with the land and people of Algeria. We certainly
left with the pain of being uprooted, the sadness of leaving a place where we were good, but no bitterness, no hatred.
I never heard a member of my family have moved a word.
I think there was a relationship with worthy people there.
DR: Your reaction to the anti-Semitic hatred of Dieudonné?
PB: It's heartbreaking. It is only an instrument of communication, propaganda, recovery ..
Artistically, there is not enough, so he wants to exist politically.
He probably thought it was a good niche, that whenever he spoke he would speak well of him.
About slavery, I do not see what Jew has refused to honor the memory of slavery.
Why oppose the memory of the Holocaust and of slavery?
is absurd.
DR: What was your presence "being Jewish" in everyday life?
PB: It's part of my everyday life.
If you forget you are Jewish, there is always someone, an event, a feeling to remind you every day. The best
way is not to forget.
My relationship to Judaism is very sensual, very emotional.
The Torah is a guide to life beautiful even if I do not respect all the time and do not know it thoroughly. But it is a current message and very disturbing.
DR: Some of your commitments, some of your injuries have they been conditioned by your Jewishness?
PB: Obviously. When, for example, I take a stand against the extreme right, I agree as well as a French citizen of Jewish religion.
Although my being Jewish "does not exhaust all of my identity.
DR: You have a beautiful Christmas tree ...
PB: I put a Christmas tree to please my child.
is a French tradition that goes well beyond the religious matter.
We live in a society where the tree is a very important place.
That said, there is no nursery and we're not going to midnight mass ...
DR: Are you religious? practitioner?
Raise your children up in a Jewish education?
PB: Yes, I am a believer. I raise my children
in respect of religion, traditions, major festivals.
We do not practice Chabatt every Friday night but when they do, it's true that it is a pleasure to observe the ritual in the family or friends.
Children live in the idea that one day they will have a choice and to live their faith in line with what they are they will at least have been proposed.
I was not raised in the religion but I was, admittedly, the one who were the closest. I'm
pleased today to be married to a Jewish woman. It makes me happy to know that we can offer our children an alternative.
DR The Talmud says: "Man thinks, God laughs."
I feel, given the distance you have with yourself, you've heard the laughter of God ...
PB: I'm trying to hear all the time laughing at God but at times, I wonder if he has always wanted to laugh.
I love this picture: I'm trying to find a smile, considering that he sees the world from a distance.
DR: Go live in Israel, is a possibility for you?
PB: I thought as we are all thinking but my life, my family, my roots are in France.
If there was no choice, there would be no single solution, there is Canada, San Francisco - but Israel, why not?
DR: You just turn "O Jerusalem" with Elie Chouraqui ...
PB: Yes, it's a great moment of cinema and life, as a human being and actor. I
Ben Gurion approached for two months and I designed and developed with him the creation of the State of Israel.
is a beautiful movie.
DR: I remember a free kick in the skylights, one evening in 1987 or 88, at the Porte de Vanves.
Have you ever dreamed of another career, but on stage?
PB: Sure, but it was at a time when my family would rather see me go to school rather than a career of professional football.
DR: You are poker champion. What role does this passion in your life?
PB: I learned chess when I was eight. And I immediately had a sense of cards, strategy.
I found myself in the championships that I won and it became a passion but not a consuming passion.
I animate a television show about poker (Canal Plus).
I play a regular game and from time to time, I'm international tournaments.
Obviously, writing an album and preparing three films m'octroient less time ... And
I do not want to be with my children and my wife, so I try to balance my time.
DR: do you write?
PB: I write my songs.
And in the literary, I started a sort of self-fiction.
But for now, a collection service will exit.
DR: Can you talk about this comic depicting your songs, a sort of tribute artist to artist?
PB: What are authors who have contacted me with reinterpret the idea of my songs.
I found it very interesting and I was not personally involved in this project, I was very glad they do.
