STORY – At the Comédie-Française, we attended the premiere of Claudel's play. The public was well prepared for the seven-hour marathon directed by Éric Ruf. Reporting until the end in the room and during intermissions.
The beginning of the representation of Satin shoe in the Richelieu room of the Comédie-Française begins at 3 p.m. It should end around 11:15 p.m. We fill a backpack with food, water bottles and applesauce, cereal bars and bananas. A thirty-year-old even adds a spare sweater and a neck pillow in case of stiff neck. Security agents are notified. They let theater lovers pass through who wouldn't miss the event for anything in the world.
“Pipoles” are there too: Claire Chazal, Jack Lang and his wife, Jean-Michel Ribes, Jean-Paul Farré, Valérie Lesort, Nada Strancar… On the balcony stands Éric Ruf, the administrator of the Frenchman who is putting together the work by Paul Claudel, Guillaume Gallienne and Christian Lacroix who designed the shimmering costumes.
