“You wanted a thunderbolt” at the Théâtre du Marais

The moving music of Mouloudji, “Love, Love, Love”, opens the show.

Immediately followed by the safety instructions of a flight attendant…

We are in an airliner. Facing the spectators, three women sitting in their seats. They engage in conversation, first on banalities, then little by little, on increasingly personal remarks relating to the romantic encounter.

One improvises as a coach for a funny seduction class that quickly gets naughty in a wild choreography on the very naughty lyrics of a famous song by Colette Renard …

Love, fidelity, virginity, contraception, the #MeToo movement, gender inequality, domestic violence, the ideal man, the pill for men, so many subjects approached in an intelligent and funny way, with derision and audacity … and love at first sight.

We are amused by a parade of Catherinettes in flowery hats, we are challenged by the question “Couple or not a couple?”, we attend a feminist demonstration and, suddenly, we are intrigued by a sign with an unusual design, “This is not an octopus”, is it written?

Then appears on stage the monumental sculpture of this strange thing that would have to do with the female morphology and strangely bears a Latin name … ?

Its very first representation would go back to the 17th century to mysteriously disappear and reappear at the beginning of the 21st century … ?

Everything, everything, everything, you will know everything by going to see this captivating comedy at the Théâtre du Marais.

But here is Mouloudji again … Love, Love, Love …
