Compagnie Souricière / A play by Mariette Navarro
Directed by Vincent Franchi / Performed by Mathieu Tanguy
Viktor, a strange character, bursts into a classroom. He simply sits down on a stool and tells his story. His story, basically, is quite simple, like that of many people in the World: a long time ago, he left his village, his home. But unlike exiles fleeing misery or war, Viktor lived in the comfort and securitýof a prosperous inheritance. Fate would have had him take over his parents' store in his native village, and pursue a quiet life rooted in the soil. Only thing is, Viktor feels deep down that he's not cut out for that lifè. He's on the move. The World seems so vast and fascinating to him, that he can't bring himself to stay frozen, stuck between borders. Viktor tells the children about his Odyssey...

8:30pm - Espace culturel Albert-Raphaël - Mme Raymonde
Denis d'Arcangelo, on Raymonde Sébastien Mesnil, on accordion, Celio Ménard, on sound and lights
Quite a character, Madame Raymonde!
With her high heels, tight-fitting dress, elegant pearl necklace and slightly overdone lipstick, she seems to have stepped straight out of a Marcel Carné film. The character of Madame Raymonde, played by Denis D'Arcangelo, has gouaille and panache. On stage, she talks a lot and plays with the audience, but with such tenderness that she creates a moving complicity with them. But don't be fooled into thinking she's mincing her words. Madame Raymonde takes us on a popular singing tour where, accompanied by the Zèbre, her inseparable accordionist, she performs a pretty repertoire that is by turns daring, tender, often funny, sometimes poignant.
Full of life and character, this witty daughter of Arletty sometimes indulges in nostalgia and emotional memories, but all the better to make us laugh out loud. Her good sense and humor have already won over a large audience, who never tire of meeting this unique character, one of those we wish we'd met more often.
