Janis

Juliette Savary is an actress who thinks she is Janis Joplin. Nora Granovsky is the writer-director who put the idea in her head. And the crazy thing is that we believe it! Janis is back! The Beat Generation icon is making her grand return to the stage and to this world; the only problem is that she has come back in a body that is not her own. Never mind: the actress serving as her physical vessel delivers as if she had been born Joplin. In fact, the confusion takes hold, as the voice is identical while recounting a trajectory that was too short, marked by doubt and loneliness, and singing accompanied on guitar by Jérôme Castel. Framed by interviews, letters and recordings of the singer, the text written by Nora Granovsky further reinforces the illusion. On the road again, Janis! With Juliette Savary and Jérôme Castel
