Djibril Glissant's companion continued her momentum by explaining how her father, a firefighter on duty at the Comédie Française, gave her the desire to do theater. “My father was a Paris firefighter at the time when there were firefighters on duty in theaters, particularly at the Comédie Française.. He was on call regularly and I think one evening my mother said : 'Take the kid'.
