Description
A solo burlesque, physical, and comedic performance
The Théâtre de Poche’s review:
We’ve all tried, at one time or another, to rise to the occasion.
There are those who seem to succeed. And then there are those who keep trying. Louis Fleury imagines a speaker tasked with talking about self-confidence, even though he seems to have lost all his bearings. It is to the latter that Louis Fleury pays a tribute that is as funny as it is touching. With infinite precision, he transforms our clumsiness, our hesitations, and our vulnerabilities into a veritable playground. His character tries to “rise to the occasion”—and it is precisely his wavering that makes him deeply endearing.
Behind the laughter lies an immense tenderness. That is where the true power of this show lies.
“One Day, Yes… But Until Then?” is a burlesque and sensitive solo performance that explores, through the figure of a man who has lost his bearings, the themes of doubt and legitimacy.
The show features an expert tasked with imparting knowledge—without being certain of the subject of his expertise. This initially comical situation gradually becomes a space for exploration where vulnerability, absurdity, and the search for meaning intersect.
Press excerpt: “We find ourselves pondering, and we thank him for this high-quality clowning performance, marked by lucid derision and lightened by biting humor”—Vivantmag
