betrayals
There are shows from which we come out frankly enthusiastic or clearly disappointed. And then there is the in-between, which unfortunately does not have the taste of Entre-Deux-Mers. It's a bit like what happened when the curtain of betrayals fell at the Théâtre de la Madeleine. Are we too used to Michel Fau's baroque fantasies to the point of not adhering to other proposals from him? Because for the staging of this play which dates from 1978, he remained wise. Too wise, no doubt. As much in the setting as in the direction of actors.

Marie of the hens
A little illiterate peasant who becomes an actress! A very young servant, barely eleven years old, hired in Nohant, at George Sand's, and who will flourish thanks to this boss like no other. A woman of the people, Marie Caillaud, who becomes a woman of boards and plays under the gaze of the friends of the house, Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, Théophile Gautier, to name a few. Marie took care of the chicken coop and here she plays the stars of Nohant's theater. What fate! It is told to us with sensitivity and wit by the playwright Gérard Savoisien. Béatrice Agenin is exceptional, confusing with truth in the three scores, changing octaves from one character to another, like a musician. In front of her, Arnaud Denis, who signs the staging and plays Maurice, very beloved and indolent son of the energetic and hyperactive George Sand.

Oh mom!
Two brothers, Tim and Tom (Mikaël Chirinian and Rudy Milstein) and two sisters Gwen and Gwlad (Garance Bocobza and Alysson Paradis) find themselves in the house of their mother who has just died. They all came with their dirty clothes, which they intend to wash with the family. The question of inheritance quickly arises. There are those who want to keep a "memory", others who do not want it. The talent of the author, Stéphane Guérin, is to make people laugh openly on a serious subject. We know these "children" there. Who must mourn their parent, but also their illusions and their dreams. This show had been performed at the Festival off d'Avignon in another staging. It was taken up there by one of the actors at the time, Guillaume Sentou. The boy has it under the sole. Roundly carried out, in Gwen's apartment which lodges her brothers and sister for four days or in a Christian place where the siblings settle the last details of the burial, the scenes are linked without dead time. Obviously accomplices, Garance Bocobza, Alysson Paradis, Mikaël Chirinian and Rudy Milstein seize their role with nameless happiness.

Transit
Coming from Canada, there was Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, the 7 Doigts de la main ... That's Flip Fabrique. A happy group of six acrobats trained in the Sun and at Éloize. They tell in Transit the delights of touring life. Everything takes place in front of a wall of trunks. We get stuck there, we measure ourselves, we propel ourselves there, we detach ourselves from it until it collapses and metamorphoses. To move around, acrobats flip without flipping. They are invincible. Reinvent the diabolo, the hoop, the hula-hoop, hand and mouth juggling, the limelight, jump rope and even popcorn. They make jokes. Do not falter, except when they realize, by Skype, one evening of blues, that they will have to wait six months before finding the soul mate who remains at the end of the world. This is what makes them endearing. These joyful drilles, so virtuoso that they seem to be familiar with the gods, turn out here and there so tenderly human ...
