Didier Bénureau, 67, plays a series of characters at the Studio des Champs-Élysées in Paris. He sketches the characters with an ogre's appetite and irresistible ferocity.
Mixing old sketches and new ones, he covers hits, including his song about soldier Morales. Behind the excess, affection for the human race can be discerned, its broken faces and its broken helmets, says Bén Bureau.. Entire "by and and with Didier Ben Bureau" is on stage from Wednesday to Sunday at 8:30 p.m., or Sunday at 4:30 a.m.
