Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Les Instants Chavirés remains one of Europe's most stubbornly independent venues, operating since 1991 in a former cinema in working-class Montreuil.
The Ex + Tom Cora footage captures one of the cellist's final performances before his death in 1998, making this an accidental memorial.
