A true story

No retirement
Pierre Arditi, who also released his autobiography, Born to playhas no plans to retire. “Retirement for actors doesn’t exist. Retirement, for an actor or actress, is death.”

Pierre Arditi, who had vagal discomfort during the performance of the play Lapland at the Edouard VII theater in Paris in September 2023, also continued its activities on television.
