Le Technicien

2022 – St-Maurice, Valais, Switzerland

The comedy, created in 2010, tells the story of how a woman manages to take revenge on her husband who humiliated her in the past. Twenty years ago, Séverine was dumped penniless by Jean-Pierre, her husband, an unscrupulous man who made his fortune on the backs of others. Today, this woman is at the head of a thriving publishing house, and she has turned the page.

One day, her ex-husband, now ruined, returns to beg her to give him a job. Séverine gets her revenge: she hires him as a cleaner. How will this man, who once made millions, cope with putting on overalls and enduring the humiliation Séverine subjects him to without complaint?

Cancelled once in February 2020, then a second time in November 2020, and a final time in March 2021, the troupe will finally be able to perform Eric Assous’ play in March and April 2022.

In this comedy, I play a young reader, Gaëtan. An extroverted homosexual, I usually arrive at the office with ‘the’ manuscript of the century, until the day I find the text that perhaps I shouldn’t have brought.

A true free spirit, I really enjoyed playing this character because I had a lot of freedom on stage and in my acting!
