Noémie Schmidt: “I feel like a Valaisan before being Swiss!”

She arrives relaxed in the hall of the Sédun theater where she repeats “The night will never end…?” A play of which she is the co-director and which joyfully mixes genres and expressions. We talk about Valais, to which she remains viscerally attached, about women, about partying, about moments of blues or anger that can be transmuted into a celebration where what counts is being together. A bit also like his life. Noémie Schmidt, 33, lives most of the time in community on a farm in Dordogne, moving with greedy freedom from a big Netflix production, the recent series “Anthracite”, to more confidential and community artistic adventures that go beyond the boxes . Like this piece, precisely, which she is delighted – she will say it several times – to share with the French-speaking public. Let’s go for an interview where his political fiber will vibrate on more than one occasion. The one who constantly aspires to open the cage of imprisoned speech claims to be part of a punk culture that is moving but also, more surprisingly, in love with the songs of Francis Cabrel, Nino Ferrer or Michel Jonasz.
