The legendary comedian La Madeleine Proust is back on stage! After 40 years of success with her iconic character, La Madeleine has hit all her notes to give her a second wind in a brand new show.
In a set very similar to the previous show, she makes great leaps between new technologies and the past.
The outspoken Madeleine Proust also talks ecology, philosophises on the absurdity of products made on the other side of the world, on the media, winks at marriage for all, and always with her common sense gives her opinion on this famous confinement that has turned so many lives upside down.
Humour, poetry and hard-hitting reflections. Always on the lookout for Proust's little madeleines, the smell of soup and home-made cake.
"I'm here to tell you the big news: La Madeleine is back! But ... with another actress that I'm going to direct. She will, of course, have a Haut-Doubs accent, will have done the same bodywork as I have and will be able to interpret my text with all the talent she has. She will bring her own energy and new ideas to her performance.
"Betray me", wrote Bashung.
I'm very happy to pass on the baton. This actress, Corinne Lordier, has already played the Madeleine (albeit in playback voice) in the show La Madeleine Proust fait le Tour du monde (Proust's Madeleine Around the World) where, in certain scenes, we were in fact two Madeleines!
