Kevin Costner and Modern West

Sun, 25. Oct 2009, 9.45 PM | ACTORS AND MUSICIANS

Festsaal Messe Basel

In front of the camera, they act. In front of the microphone, they come to life with a passion. He was the man who dances with wolves. She was the semi-nude icon of the post-68 free-love movement in France. Both have received numerous awards for their accomplishments as actors. In 2009 they came together in Basel to share their true passion: music. Kevin Costner and Jane Birkin presented an evening somewhere between refreshing American mainstream rock and delicate French chanson, a touch of Hollywood and the Côte d’Azur. A meeting of two superstars of two different generations and cultures, who still have a few things in common: authenticity and believability.
