It all starts with ultra crazy As France is beautiful Gustave Akakpo and Frédéric Blin. The author and the clown amuse themselves with all the most racist stereotypes and divert them to tease French good feelings. Without saying too much, the case is a step of two vocal between these two deconneurs. The story does not say if they knew each other but obviously the connection is doing well. Frédéric Blin in a mini-baroness costume, a cheap wig and a cartoon t-shirt, humor all the hiccups (A bottle falls and he harangues, coming out in one second of his text, but not his role for even better Go back: “We are not vulgarity close!” and Gustave Akakpo is caricatured slayer of the Francophonie.

Filigree is a portrait of the worst of our good feelings. Coluche is quoted at one point, and Pierre Desproges is resuscitated complement. It’s a good thing to be caught by these characters so offbeat, serious when the whole room is writhing with laughter. All this attacks the great intellectual cliches to swallow them and “throw them away” with acidity. A bomb !

Christian Ubl is a dancer, he is an associate artist at La Briqueterie CDCN in Val-de-Marne until December 2020.

And yet, from this performance, which we can not reveal to you, we understand that candor is a quality. The choreography combines gestures borrowed from the world of magicians, with the hands that draw lots for example, but also repetitive movements as in the 1970s.

Beyond the astonishment of the towers, the performance breaks more than ever the fourth wall without entering a caricature. It’s as crazy as it is amazing, as crazy as it is tender.

Until 23rd, Garden of the Virgin of Saint Joseph High School at 11:00. Duration 1h30
