Live an unforgettable experience in an exceptional place

FAREWELL… MAYBE.

THANK YOU… FOR SURE.

“Farewell… per­haps. Thank you…for sure.” A farewell show. Rather than leave my audi­ence by text mes­sage, I pre­ferred to do it with a show. After 35 years togeth­er, it was the least I could do.

At first, I thought I’d do a best of of of my sketches, think­ing that my audi­ence would be happy to hear them, and I’d be delighted to per­form them.

Then I said to myself, “I’d have to do 2 or 3 new things… but since I’m greedy, I added a few more… and from little new things to little new things, I ended up with a new show.

Doing one last show to say good­bye to your audi­ence is obvi­ously very inspiring.

And as it’s my last show, I was a bit shy in my pre­vi­ous shows, so I obvi­ously let myself go a bit…

My farewell is real. But all I want is for no one to believe me when I leave the theater!

Ten good reas­ons to stop and then go.

Farewell… per­haps.

But…

Thank you… for sure

Les adieux des mag­ni­fiques — Part 1 — (The Mag­ni­fi­cent Saga, brought up to date)

Theat­er is both eph­em­er­al and etern­al. A long time ago, I wrote a phrase that could be my coat of arms:

“As long as there are authors to write us and act­ors to play us, we’ll be eternal”.

So I’ve decided to say good­bye to the char­ac­ters I love so much. Maxo, Julot, Guigui, my three little trouser sales­men. My three her­oes in an adven­ture where what they have to save is memory. They’re funny and mov­ing. They’re the ima­gin­ary ver­sion of my father­’s gen­er­a­tion. Long before the Inter­net and everything else, they wor­ried about wheth­er they’d be remembered two or three gen­er­a­tions from now. They often say:

- “In two or three gen­er­a­tions Les mag­ni­fiques? Les mag­ni­fiques? … Isn’t that a brand of cheese?”

The gap between them and their grand­chil­dren is such that they’re sure they’ll dis­ap­pear. But God will come to their rescue.

And so, through their char­ac­ter­ist­ic laughter and humor, they will fight and, of course, win.

“You can­’t know where you’re going if you for­get where you came from”.

So they’re her­oes on a par with Sparta­cus or Sky­walk­er or Ulysses. Of course, it’s a new ver­sion filled with new things, simply because times change. And then comes per­haps the most beau­ti­ful of all:

“SIMONE BOUTBOUL” She’s going to talk with her grand­chil­dren and great-grand­chil­dren about today’s world.

You may well ask your­self: “But is it funny?”

Come and see.

Love to you all.
