La Madeleine Proust
Set against the backdrop of lockdown – and in a setting very similar to the previous show – she explores the stark contrasts between new technologies and the past.
La Madeleine Proust, thanks to her outspoken nature, also discusses environmental issues, reflects on the absurdity of products manufactured on the other side of the world and on the media, makes subtle references to marriage for all, and, ever with her common sense, shares her views on this famous lockdown that has turned so many lives upside down.
Humour, poetry and thought-provoking reflections. Always on the lookout for Proust’s little madeleines, the smells of soup and homemade cake.
‘I’m here to share some big news with you: La Madeleine is back! But… with a different actress whom I’ll be directing. She’ll, of course, have the Haut-Doubs accent, will have done the same physical training as me, and will be able to interpret my text with all the talent she possesses. She’ll bring her own energy and fresh ideas to her performance.
‘Betray me,’ wrote Bashung.
I’m very happy to pass on the baton. This actress, Corinne Lordier, has already played La Madeleine (albeit with a pre-recorded voice) in the show *La Madeleine: Proust Travels the World*, where, in some scenes, there were actually two Madeleines!”
