Boris Vian was a great novelist, poet, singer and musician in Paris during the crazy years that followed the 1940 armistice. He could be defined as an avant-garde artist, inspired by surrealism and pataphysics. Yet, at the same time, he was a popular artist, who both wrote and performed light-hearted songs that were a combination of simplicity and sophistication, as well as playing trumpet and writing caustic detective stories. He died at the age of 39.<\/p>\n
The centenary of his birth will be marked by a conversation between Fernando Cabral Martins, Jo\u00e3o Paulo Esteves da Silva and Bernardo Pinto de Almeida, in a session chaired by Carlos Vaz Marques.<\/p>\n
This will be followed by a concert in the Small Auditorium with Lu\u00eds Vicente and other jazz musicians, who will interpret some of Boris Vian\u2019s compositions.<\/p>\n
