EXCLUDED “My wife sacrificed…”: Francis Perrin hides nothing from the difficulties linked to his son Louis’ autism

This is the piece not to be missed! After experiencing a real triumph last season, Didier Caron's work called Le Duplex had a series of sold-out performances for several months, before being crowned by a broadcast on 2 last June. A deserved consecration. It was enough to convince the programmers of the Théâtre de to ride on this popular craze. Result: the play made its comeback on stage last Thursday, September 12. We were present for this brilliant recovery.

In the cast, brilliantly chosen, an Anny Duperey in Olympic form, a hilarious Pascal Légitimus, an absolutely delirious Corinne Touzet and a Francis Perrin… PERFECT! Together, these four popular figures laugh, sing, scream, run, jump. So much so that they themselves are losing control. Like this moment when Corinne Touzet no longer seems to be able to hold back his laughter in the face of the replicas of Pascal Legitimus. She giggles, the audience is hilarious. And it’s like that throughout the play. His comrade Francis Perrin is not to be outdone. However, the man of 10,000 representations would have reason to be concerned. Indeed, the one who plays Antoine Mongeville has experienced very difficult times with his son Louis' autism. An aspect of his life that he talks to us about in On stage with for Purepeople.

“Louis is independent, Louis is well, Louis is happy”

Francis and Gersende Perrin form a solid couple, united by love and the fight for their son Louis. At just three years old, he was diagnosed with severe autism. At the time, doctors and specialists in France seemed helpless in the face of this condition. During consultations, a specialized psychiatrist gave them a sentence that was as shocking as it was unforgettable: “You must mourn your child”according to the words of the 77-year-old actor in the show We are not in beddated June 9, 2012. “You have to let it go.”he added. A shock for the parents, already exhausted by a year of ordeals.

Today, Francis Perrin seems calm. So peaceful. “It’s behind, but it’s good”he tells us with a smile on his lips. It must be said that he experienced trials. Fortunately, faced with this sad news, he was able to count on the unfailing support of his wife: “There were two of us, there were even four of us because his brother and sister were great too”. And for those who will be on tour with Le Duplex in 2025, add: “It was a hard ordeal and then my wife sacrificed a lot of her career to take care of Louis but the result is so wonderful that all that fades away”. Now an actor, like his parents, Louis is a fulfilled young man. “Louis is independent, Louis is good, Louis is happy“, his father concludes, with pride in his eyes.
