The latest

  • 2025 Spring Update

    On October 6, Robyn will sing in Paris at the memorial for actor, activist, and all-around great human being Jacques Martial, who passed away in August at the age of 69. On his death, Mayor Anne Hidalgo paid a huge tribute to him on her Facebook page, and she is holding the memorial in the salon of Paris’ Hotel de Ville (the town hall). President Macron also posted a great tribute to Jacques, who, in addition to his long professional career as an artist, was formerly the director of Parc La Villette, then of the Memorial Acte in Guadeloupe and most recently was one of the Deputy Mayors of Paris (with responsibility for the Outre-Mer). A longtime collaborator (and friend) with Jacques, Robyn co-commissioned his solo theatrical version of Aimé Césaire’s seminal Notebook of a Return to my Native Land. It premiered at Ten Days on the Island and went on to tour the world for many years. Robyn introduced Jacques to Back to Back Theatre, and he subsequently invited them to perform at Parc la Villette.

    To learn more about Jacques’ amazing career and life, most search engines will yield details, including his role as a cop in the popular French TV show Navarro, his early appearance in the James Bond film Moonraker, and his voice artist work overdubbing the likes of Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, and so many more. A life certainly worth singing for. He is greatly missed.

    On October 19, Robyn will perform with George Butrumlis for the Coming Back Out Salon at The Edge, in Melbourne’s Federation Square. Created and maintained by Tristan Meecham with Bec Reid and All the Queen’s Men, this is the third salon Robyn has participated in; the first was the grand Melbourne Town Hall gala, the second in Sydney Town Hall for World Pride. Tickets can be purchased through All the Queen’s Men.
