“Touched by the fairies”: Ariane Ascaride’s magic wand

The subtitle Last wordas one would say “last words”, is not to be taken lightly. Even if the show also carries the much more perky one of Touched by fairies. When she arrives on stage, a bit like one would set foot on land in the port of Marseille at the end of an astonishing journey, Ariane Ascaride is carrying suitcases. Which contain his memories, his life, his moods and his laughter.

From this winter until spring, the actress stops at the Parisian theater of La Scala, which welcomes her for “carte blanche” including three other shows already noted: Gisèle Halimi, a fierce freedom, with Philippine Pierre-Brossolette; The joy of givingwith poems by Bertolt Brecht set to music by David Venitucci; And Paris foundwhich offers an original stroll through the capital city with poems and songs by Louis Aragon, Simone de Beauvoir, Marina Tsvetaïeva, Louise Michel, Jacques Prévert, Charles Trenet, Guillaume Apollinaire.
