  • The 2021 edition of the Enfoirés show is filmed until Sunday at the Halle Tony-Garnier, in Lyon.

    Without audience.

  • 20 Minutes

    was invited on Saturday on this shoot which takes place under strict sanitary conditions.

  • Forty artists are participating in this show called

    Beside you

    , which will be broadcast soon on TF1.

    The CDs and DVDs that will be marketed in the wake will be essential for Restaurants: the absence of ticketing this year represents between 4 and 5 million euros less collected for the association.

Christophe Willem, Zazie, Claire Keim and Jean-Louis Aubert, dressed as in the Roaring Twenties, take over

Paris Seychelles

.

This will be one of the 24 musical tableaux of the next Enfoirés show shot until Sunday at the Halle Tony-Garnier in Lyon.

Behind the artists, an 80 square meter screen, on which spread out palm trees, turquoise waves and sandy expanses, warms up this winter Saturday.

On the other hand, in terms of human warmth, the public does not appear, even virtually.

For the first time, the concert for the benefit of the Restos du cœur takes place without spectators.

A decision to which the organizers had to resolve at the end of November, faced with the health situation.

Patrick Fiori 25 meters from the ground

As many artists are still mobilized.

Carla Bruni, Amel Bent, Soprano, Claudio Capéo, Nolwenn, Kad Merad, Alice Pol, Amir, Black M, Mimie Mathy, Michèle Laroque… About forty Enfoirés, including two new ones, Vianney and Kev Adams, responded to the show which will be broadcast soon on TF1.

Multiple tests, masks, and strict instructions, the "sanitary bubble" is in place.

The theme chosen this year is like a snub to this damn social distancing: “Beside you.

"" We start in sobriety.

There must not be a big gap between the artists and what is happening at the moment, ”warns producer Anne Marcassus.

For the finale, the idea of ​​making masked Restaurant volunteers sit on the front of the stage, while the artists sing at the back, is in the air.

Rest assured, the colorful scenographies and festive sketches remain on the program.

Lorie promises a great time on

Patrick Fiori says he “almost died, but inside”: during his visit to

Des hommes similils

.

Perched on a footbridge 25 meters above the ground, he had to struggle with his vertigo.

Inès Reg and Isabelle Nanty, they took over the roles of Vitaa and Diam's for

Confessions nocturnes

It will also be necessary to reckon with a tribute to Christophe on

Les paradis perdus

.

Eyes in the Enfoirés

The show is not shot in one shot under live conditions, but one sequence after another.

Each is repeated, then recorded, and so on.

The sketches, a dozen, will always be inserted between the sung parts.

We are told that there will be parodies of TV shows (

Incroyable Talent

,

Mask Singer

,

Deal concluded

,

The Voice

...) and that the Covid-19 will not be bypassed.

On the small screen, the absence of an audience should be offset by backstage forays.

“I compare that to the

Eyes in the Blues

[the documentary at the heart of the France team during the 1998 World Cup].

We also created a sort of

question box to

collect on the spot the reactions of artists leaving the stage, ”adds Anne Marcassus.

The ambition is “that the viewers are at the center of the device.

"

Even if all the personalities encountered at the Halle Tony-Garnier this Saturday deplore the absence of an audience, they are delighted that the show has been maintained, because the absence of a ticket office represents between 4 and 5 million euros in less collected for the Restos du cœur.

CD and DVD sales will therefore be essential.

"We are considering an

unplugged

concert

, the proceeds of which will be donated to the association", announces Slimane, without specifying a date.
