The poster for the
B+B = BB
show is enticing.
It represents young Brigitte Bardot, suspicious gaze, sulky pout, loose hair and pearl necklace around her neck.
Cécile Beaudoux and Simon Gallant revisit the myth
"in complete freedom, happiness and carefree"
, they say.
The actors and musicians have assigned themselves roles: Béate for her, Benoît for him.
Two characters full of fantasy who marvel and allow them to illustrate the key dates in BB's life, from the 50s to the 70s. His childhood with his sister Mijanou.
The teenager began by taking dance lessons.
His first steps in the theater, then in the cinema.
His loves, his friendships, media coverage.
The birth of the icon finally.
“And my buttocks, do you like them, my buttocks? And my breasts, do you like them?
Directed with efficiency by Jean-Marie Lecoq, its co-author, Cécile Beaudoux says the cult tirade of
Contempt
, replays a scene from
And God...created the wife
of Roger Vadim, then another from the trial in
La Vérité
signed Henri- George Clouzot.
Also recalls the fight of the star for the defense of animals.
Delivering in passing his reflections on freedom and men.
And also sings.
Curiously, the voice Cécile Beaudoux makes hear intonations close to those of her model.
The two actors evoke more than they embody "Brigitte Bardot Bardot...", offering her a personalized tribute.

"Dear Cécile (...), I wondered if I hadn't written most of these songs for you, so much the way you sing them reminds me of my little sister Brigitte",
wrote Jean-Max Rivière the lyricist of the former actress, author in particular of La Madrague with Gérard Bourgeois.
Passed by the School of Musical Comedy of Paris, the person concerned was in
La Dame blanche,
a thriller by Sébastien Azzopardi and Sacha Danino.
She is very well accompanied by Simon Gallant, a young crazy singer, a pianist by profession who had been noticed in
Fame, The Adams Family
and
Hairspray.
They evoke more than they embody "Brigitte Bardot Bardot...", offering her a personalized tribute.
Versatile and complementary, at ease on the set, both entertain his fans with joy and good humor.
Until July 23, from Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m., at the Théâtre de la Folie Méricourt, 6 rue de la Folie Méricourt 75011 Paris.
