Le Discours

“You know, your sister would be very happy if you gave a little speech at the ceremony.” The play The Speech by Fabrice Caro (aka Fabcaro). It is the beginning of a family dinner during which Adrien, depressed and in his thirties, desperately awaits a reply to the message he has just sent to his ex. Between dauphinois gratin and draft speeches, each more absurd than the last, a touching and disenchanted emotional journey unfolds, worthy of the best romantic comedies. An intense introspection that spares us nothing of Adrien’s existential anguish, the ridiculous situations he invariably gets himself into, or his completely futile schemes in every circumstance. A story worthy of the best romantic comedies, featuring the offbeat humor of Zaï zaï zaï zaï. Adaptation, performance and direction: Henri Fernandez.
