Poppée Bashung, the daughter of the singer of
Osez Joséphine
, will make her theater debut in 2022. From February 21 to April 5, she will take the stage at Studio Hébertot to play
Orgie,
a play by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
The young actress will give the reply to Anthony de Azevedo, who puts on a triple cap for the occasion since he is also directing and producing the play.
At only 20 years old, the daughter of Alain Bashung has already had several experiences on television and in the cinema.
She recently had a small role in
This Music Doesn't Play For Anyone
, Samuel Benchetrit's latest film released in September.
She is also present in season 2 of the
Mytho
series
, broadcast since October on Netflix.
With
Orgie
, the actress continues with a much less light role.
A play between torture and sadomasochism
Written in 1968, Pasolini's play caused a scandal at the time, and has since dragged on the reputation of a sulphurous work.
It features a man and a woman in a sadomasochistic relationship, which evolves into a simulacrum of torture.
Orgie
explores themes of power, gender, sexuality and suicide.
Often compared to
Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom,
the last film by the Italian filmmaker, the Italian artist's play was touted when it premiered at the Teatro Stabile in Turin, but received a triumphant reception at its Paris premiere, twenty years old. later.
