NEW SHOW “DÉLICIEUX”

I almost called this show “Le plaisir” (Pleasure).

But then I thought that the only pleasures people would think of with a title like that would be those forbidden to under-18s.

However, for financial reasons, I want under-18s to also be able to attend my show.

So I called it “Délicieux” (Delicious): it’s a family show.

In an hour and a quarter, I will try to untangle the complexity of what causes pleasure in human beings.

Of course, pleasure can come from a glass of Chasselas wine enjoyed by the lake in spring. But it can also be caused by the death of someone you don’t like. Of course, an unexpected promotion at work brings joy. But so does eating Gruyère cheese in Gruyères, or knowing – when you’re French – that you don’t pronounce the “z” in Étivaz (which allows us to gleefully correct all the clueless people who make that mistake).

My goal is for this show to bring you a certain pleasure, in a mise en abyme as delicious as eating Gruyère in Gruyères. David Castello-Lopes
