Authentic, a daily womanshow

« Authentic », play written and performed by Clémence Baron, directed by Laurent Storch.

« Fallen into the pot » of the theater since childhood, Clémence followed the Florent course in Paris, and Brussels then the Lassad course, a triple training of international renown. Now she continues as the author of « Fallacia », « Accusé(e) » and now « Authentique ». Also a performer in her shows, the young woman is making a brilliant breakthrough in the theater world. Clémence connects emotions in all directions in her comedies and dramas. We go from laughter to tears! “I always wanted to write dramas. But it’s true that at 5 years old, I said to my parents: I want to do theater to make people laugh. So that they are not sad. » His remarkable writing is a concentrate of humor and finesse, exuberance and tenderness. Same when she plays. On the boards, his energy is infectious.

Laurent Storch, the director, discovered Clémence Baron last summer at the Avignon festival. It was he who spotted, from the start, « exceptional solo performers » such as Dany Boon, Muriel Robin, Gad Elmaleh or Rowan Atkinson. He has co-produced many comedies around these extraordinary comedians, notably with TF1.

In « Authentic », a talented one-man show, this little woman shows a rare presence when she tells us about the 2 years during which she was in a relationship. It is that, at 26, « you are no longer young for the S.N.C.F ». And then « contraception is no longer free ».
This theme is fueled by his family’s delightfully annoying jokes or quirks. « Dad, I left my chick and I’m going to marry a man ». « Great, champagne! » « . « Yes, but I’m going to marry a Fulani. » « Uh, fine, a Fulani how? » Light Fulani or dark brown? Her wedding dress disappeared the morning of the wedding! Information taken, … one of his brothers put it on to disguise himself, and the other wore his veil. For the wedding night, rebelotte, the two brothers invited each other to sleep on the carpet of the marital bedroom.
In the performance hall of Mélo d’Amélie, the public is won over. We wish you good luck, Clémence Baron!
