Di(x)vins, François-Xavier Demaison returns to the stages of the Théâtre de l’Œuvre
Theater of the Work
Until January 13, 2024
François-Xavier Demaison marks his big return to the theater by taking the stage for the first time at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, an establishment that he has directed for 6 years. More than a one-man show, the comedian, actor, humorist returns to the stage with a fourth intimate show mixing confidences and characters. We went there, and we'll tell you about it.
This enthusiast talks to us with relish about ten bottles in red thread. The year or origin of these wines only serves as a pretext for a journey through time and space. The actor's memories mingle with ours. Demaison talks to us about the things we experience and the glasses we empty. These bottles tell it, tell us. Tasting becomes a reflection on our strange times. By inviting us to its table, FX tickles our taste buds and our neurons. Intoxication of words guaranteed.
A story about him, a story of life. This is really what FX Demaison tells us for 2 hours. This lover of history, cinema and culture takes us on a journey through the stages of his life, all punctuated by good bottles. If we call him alone on stage, the name could not be less true because this one man show will give you the impression of a crowd. Meet Wendy, the ecstatic American, Giuseppe the passionate Italian, Gérard the boxer or even his revolutionary history teacher, all his personalities with strong character who marked the actor's life. This talented imitator does not hesitate to dance, sing, move around the room to give the audience a very unique experience. The precise text is full of references, giving the most initiated an ever finer interpretation of the show. If you don't recognize them all, don't panic, Demaison will make you laugh out loud with his acting and his phrasing which he imprints on the character he dreams of interpreting: Cyrano de Bergerac.
The one who does not apologize for his light tone, his satires and his vulnerability, reminds us of the importance of good living, of living together and offers us a show to consume without moderation.
