Le dîner chez les Français de V. Giscard d’Estaing

Led by Léo Cohen-Paperman, they took delight in the art of the 'mise en cène' of the most aristocratic of our republican monarchs. It's an opportunity for the group to indulge in some joyful stage writing, second-handed by the pen, to chisel away at the fable. 8pm rings in a Norman village. The presidential couple are announced. At dinner, three generations... The youngest was only a year old at the time. Here he is, the narrator of this theatre with an air of antiquity, where everyone sits on the same side of the table. Realistic? The facts (oil crisis, abortion, unemployment...) are there... But they are revisited in a historical delirium that reshuffles the deck in the manner of a televised mass, droll and as rhythmic as a music hall... Hungry for theatre? Welcome to the banquet.
