Swann Périssé, YouTuber, comedian, actress and producer, will talk to us on Monday, September 16, about her stand-up show. Calm who talks about her anger, about female anger in general, and about its reception in patriarchal society.
The one who uses humor to talk about political subjects like feminism or ecology, thinks in fact that the role of comedians is “to fight, not necessarily to give one’s opinion, but to make jokes [sur l’actualité]relax the atmosphere, observe society a little”However, she does not hesitate to take clear positions on the subjects she addresses, by encouraging women to speak out, or the implementation of structural policies in terms of ecology rather than individual actions.
“We have to continue to get upset in a structural way.”
Swann Périssé, who, among his many activities, loves being on stage above all else, will be every Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Théâtre Edouard VII in Paris for his show Calmfrom September 17, 2024.
The fashion phenomenon: the caterpillar is back
For a few months now, the caterpillar has been making a comeback. We see it everywhere, in incongruous places, like at a trendy electro music festival… but also at Club France during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where Vincent Piguet, creator of the “Chenille School Academy” led caterpillar workshops with the public. Finally, perhaps even more surprising, seen this summer at the Avignon Festival, where the show Fair of the collective The Cabalwinner of the Théâtre 13 prize, ended with a caterpillar.
Vincent Piguet and the play’s director, Charles Mathorez, explain this enthusiasm by the need to live together, for lightness in difficult times, which makes us want to recreate a bond.
“With the caterpillar, there is a lot of depth: we walk in the same direction, we need everyone, each link…”
A question of good taste, the power of laughter, the caterpillar ultimately nourishes a lot of reflections, but above all allows us to let go, to free ourselves from the way we look at ourselves, and to “live in the present moment”concludes director Charles Mathorez.
On the series side, the Emmy Awards, the equivalent of the Oscars for television productions, took place last night, and it’s Shogun which won a total of 18 trophies. A consecration for this non-English series, the first series to be rewarded so much for a single season.
A program with the participation of journalists Thierry Fiorile and Laurent Valière, journalists in the culture department of franceinfo.
