À mots doux

What goes on inside the head of a teenager who's an absolute fan of Mylène Farmer? To unravel this mystery, Thomas Quillardet invites us into Sylvain's bedroom. This cosy refuge turns out to be a mental space where he lives out his passion without moderation, with soft words and at full blast! A fresh and joyful musical theatre piece. “Puisqu’il faut choisir / À mots doux je peux le dire”... Sylvain, 14, knows all the lyrics to Mylène Farmer's songs, not to mention her choreographies. This adoration invades his daily life: he eats Mylène, he sleeps Mylène and above all he dreams Mylène, even managing to make the star's close entourage appear in his room. The solitude of adolescence is broken, the passion shared, and the room becomes a joyful chaos: they sing, they dance, they have a blast! With infinite delicacy and great fantasy, Thomas Quillardet and six performers—actors, singers, musicians—give body to this adolescence traversed by raw emotions. For behind the fan attitude, there is a deeper quest: that of self. Between humour, melancholy and poetic impulses, the show accurately captures this fragile moment when one is searching for oneself and for role models, when one invents oneself, when one finally allows oneself to be. And in this complicit face-to-face with the audience, Sylvain grows, slowly but surely. Duration: 1h20
