Telle est la Question

Did you enjoy Cédric Daniélo in La Machine de Turing? Come and discover him in his solo show! Telle est la Question is the story of a show that never begins, and of a spectator who knows of the theatre only what a friend has told him… So he takes the liberty of asking us what all of this might actually be for. But, not getting any satisfaction, he finally decides to try his hand at the only text he knows by name, Être ou ne pas être.

But stepping onto a stage is no small matter, and the fantastical is never far away… Theatre emerges imperceptibly, and this innocent man unwittingly teaches us things about himself, about his relationship with his friend, but above all about the theatre…

Telle est la question leaves us wrong-footed, somewhere between acting and not acting, mixing everyday language with the most famous of monologues, so that we no longer know whether the actor is telling us the truth through artifice, or lying to us with sincerity…

Running time: 55 minutes. Suitable from age 12.
