Tonight after a long lunch at Severine & Patrick's and an exhibition, we all went to the theater to see Jacques Weber in "Seul en scene". None of us had any idea what the show was about. All we knew was it was with Jacques Weber and this guy is a pretty good actor.
There we were, the 5 of us, ready for almost anything on stage.
And it was absolutely great!
It's a one man show during which Jacques Weber "interprets" literature texts (classic or recent ones), famous or not, some funny, some emotional.
Fair enough, you have to be French to really enjoy the show as all the texts he uses are extracts from the French literature, but it really worth seeing.
If the poem "Le Corbeau et le Renard" from La Fontaine had been explained to me like it was tonight for sure I would have been more eager to learn it, back then at school.
I do confess that I did not recognize most of the texts (I did study science and not literature :)) but even the way he put them together really brought them to life.
You can have a glimpse here.
