On June 6 &amp; 7, 2026, Flipside will add to their catalogue of &ldquo;Bingeworthy&rdquo; events with &ldquo;Word Painting,&rdquo; two performances of the 16 art songs of French 19th-century composer Henri Duparc, supplemented by live visual art creation. Set in Salle Pauline Boutal at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain, this cinematic &amp; evocative music will be performed by captivating singing actors Lara Ciekiewicz &amp; Elena Howard-Scott, accompanied by pianist Lisa Rumpel, with live painting by multi-disciplinary artist Nereo Zorro. Though Duparc lived a long life, only 16 songs survived his perfectionistic standards brought on by a nervous disorder &amp; excessive expectations by his mentors - and those survivors endure as gems of the French song repertory. Using texts by the most renowned French poets of his day, these songs are an equal partnership between voice &amp; piano: epic and orchestral, with vivid text-painting. This marriage between music, words, and visual art will blur the lines between art forms, creating an immersive and deeply human performance that cannot be replicated.&nbsp;
