Imagine that Sébastien, this somewhat embittered character, finds himself catapulted into a scenario like Back to the future but version of loves and friendships in crisis! In “My lucky day» , on the stage of the Théâtre Fontaine, Patrick Haudecœur and Gérald Sibleyras (already accomplices on Berlin Berlin ) have fun plunge their hero into a crazy time loop where everything replays itself, but never in the same way.
It all begins in a superb residence where Sébastien arrives, overcome by bitterness. He is convinced that he failed his life the day when, with a simple throw of the dice, he let Marie-Noëlle, an attractive young woman, now married to his friend, slip away. At the time, the group of friends decided everything with a coin toss, or rather a roll of the dice. He had rolled a two, synonymous with bitter failure. Since then, he has mulled over this key moment, convinced that this random choice condemned him to a mediocre existence.
Time is racing
But fate intervenes when he finds this famous die and, in a fit of rage, throws it again. Surprise: time runs out of control, the cards are redistributed, and Sébastien relives this famous scene from ever crazier angles. Relationships change, dynamics are reversed, and each throw pushes him into increasingly hilarious situations.
Whirlwind of laughter
Guillaume de Tonquédec excels in the role of the lost prisoner of these temporal repetitions. He brings a desperate but infinitely comic energy to his character, playing brilliantly between annoyance and absurdity. The mechanics of the play, full of misunderstandings and twists and turns, rise to a crescendo, offering the viewer a veritable whirlwind of laughter.
With My lucky day the Haudecœur-Sibleyras duo delivers an original comedy where the absurd flirts with finesse, and where we learn that sometimes, it takes several tries to understand that happiness… perhaps there from the beginning. A jubilant evening not to be missed!
