To mark its 175th anniversary, Sacem is teaming up with Paris Match to take over the railings of the Hôtel de Ville de Paris with an exhibition celebrating musical creation in all its forms. Echoing Sacem's historical archives – scores, declaration forms, stamp sheets – portraits from Paris Match's photographic collection tell the vital story of the authors, lyricists, composers and songwriters who shaped the soundtrack of Paris.
With Les coulisses de la création, the City of Paris and Sacem offer a visual journey dotted with figures whose connection to the capital runs deep: Rita Mitsouko, MC Solaar, Michel Legrand, Dalida, Françoise Hardy, David Guetta, Django Reinhardt, Manu Dibango, Aya Nakamura, Rachid Taha and, of course, Edith Piaf. Together, these documents and faces compose a living narrative: that of an institution dedicated to creation, and of a city that has never stopped inspiring artists.
