On its site, the agenda is clearly displayed. Sunday June 16, Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala announced he would perform in Nice.
Persona non grata in the Riviera capital, and not only that, the controversial personality still ensures a tour.
How? By offering individuals the opportunity to host his show “Under the influence” on their… own property. A way to free yourself from theaters.
“There is a refreshment bar, a barbecue too”
It is therefore a few kilometers from the coast, in the town of L’Escarène, that the public was invited to meet, after having purchased their place for 39.90 euros on its reservation platform.
The performance benefits from a sound and lighting control, on the land of a village resident.
One of the neighbors testifies: “This provoked the intervention of the gendarmes to regulate parking which had been anarchic. But tonight there is no such problem.”
However, the police are aware of the show: “They are in front of the road, on the public highway.”
To survey the area, agents from the Dieudonné staff are careful to believe this resident who watches this ballet from afar: “There must be around a hundred people gathered. They come with their camping chair, their folding seat and are installed in an arc in front of him.”
A well-organized “private” event: “There is a refreshment bar, a barbecue too from what I perceive. I hear applauding, shouting.”
On his site, he promises two hours of show with Djamel and the Beast in the opening act. Its online ticket office announces a circuit passing through Pau, Geneva, Avignon and even Namur until the fall.
