Performed in French with English captions overhead. An actress who dreamed of the classics and of being chosen by great directors accepts a job she never imagined: playing a mascot in supermarkets. Anne Jeanvoine wrote this solo with Anne Rehbinder from her own life, and it follows her from hiding inside a costume to coming out as a gay woman.
Fri May 7 – Sun May 9
Performed in French with English captions overhead. A year after Guy de Maupassant's death, Paris's literary society holds a benefit to pay for his statue in the Parc Monceau, and the actress Madame Pasca is to perform four of his stories.
