Constellations

What are the stars that guide or mark them, the major encounters, the personalities that fascinate them… Find the constellations of our guests.

Boulevard Raspail in Paris, we queue as if for a show. In the crowd, on this Thursday when the azure sky is dripping in light rain, couples who are having an evening party, arguments routine, teenagers with their teacher anticipating the replies. That day, at the Théâtre de l’Alliance française, Rebecca Manzoni received two brigades of critics, one to talk about theater, the other about cinema. Since January, she has been orchestrating The mask and the feather, this France Inter show which is breaking records for longevity – it will be 75 years old in 2025 – and audience – nearly three million cumulative listeners each week, including 1.4 million on Sunday morning.

But here she launches the emission of this voice of a fraternal friend which distinguishes her, a sweet apricot voice made to disperse melancholy, to summon confidence, to celebrate the words of her hosts. Because for this playful confessor – in the name of the show Totemic on France Inter –, The mask is a celebration, as for his predecessor, Jérôme Garcin. She savors the renewed surprise, the tirades of her tenors, their rhetorical spins and above all this wave of pleasure which rises from the aisles when the game is good.
