« Laughter Spring » festival has been canceled
The Toulouse humor festival presents a hundred shows of all styles of humor (one man shows, duets, musical humor, burlesque, improvisation) and in all their forms (theater shows, café-theaters). .
Through a privileged moment, these young talented laureates of the “Best of Humor” device, an international device for identifying new French-speaking talents and supporting their careers, made us laugh.
Antonia de Rendinger, daughter of improvisation which she discovered on the sidelines of her higher studies of letters and sociology, Antonia went to writing at the turn of the millennium with a first show alone on stage: « Itinerary of a failed child « , a premonitory title since a few years later she received from Claude Lelouch the Henri Salvad’Or prize at the Saint-Gervais 2012 festival, for her second show » Travail, Famille, Poterie « . It was on this occasion that she became friends with Olivier Sitruk, then member of the jury, who offered to lend her a helping hand to re-stage the show.
« I love coming to festivals, there is a whole different atmosphere than when we play in a regular hall. There is a little associative spirit, this human warmth, the added value of the human, we are really pampered when we come, by a whole team, it is often people who make sacrifices to organize the festival, who take their free time, who feel privileged to join us as artists in fact we are very lucky to have them! « said Antonia de Rendinger.
I am the godmother of the Spring Laughter Gala, which opens its doors on Friday March 6 at Diagora Labège and will feature 6 promising young artists whom we recommend you applaud.
The opportunity to look at the case of Antonia de Rendinger as a preamble to this month of laughter that awaits the people of Toulouse!
24 characters, all very different, it is a pearl necklace, they have their common sense, they are all excessive. Each sketch has a story, with a beginning and an end, and is an entire scene. There will be the mother overwhelmed by shared custody, the debates on social mix.
« I really like the SVT teacher who is a little retro but very involved for the students and the slightly heavy dredger who I like to do with the southern accent. He is generally quite successful when I make yourself at home! »
Sure, little Antonia will be a huge artist spread all over the world! From comedy to tragedy, this kid likes to play, sing, speak 8 languages and make people laugh. So Antonia plays, has fun, thrives!
Created from reworked improvisations, this show of unconditional freedom marks a break with the previous ones: it is no longer one story it tells us but ten, which are linked like pearls on a necklace. The stage becomes a veritable playroom where more than 24 characters meet, from the young mother overwhelmed by shared custody to the old school teacher SVT, via Tragédie Cléopâtre. Social mix, cult of Brel, Bluebeard or female pleasure around the world are all themes that this new opus addresses.
Unfortunately, the festival stops, but a few days after the opening, the actress regrets the events and asks everyone to comply with the emergency decisions regarding COVID – 19.
They gave the best of themselves and took the plunge to offer the public a very pleasant moment, far from the indignation of the coronaviruses and the cancellation of the rest of the festival.
Indeed, according to the latest government announcements prohibiting the gathering of more than 100 people, the organizers are not able to organize the festival as initially planned from March 6 to April 5.
The Creation Trophy device and its five consecutive pieces are suspended.
