Jacques Weber has been living his passion for drama for 40 years, all along conceiving this show which today reaches its perfect maturity and the peak of his art. As one of the most prominent French theatre comedians, he returns to the stage to share with us some of the most beautiful scripts in our history.

The show consists of various scripts which can make us laugh and cry from our hearts, no matter they are classical or contemporary, famous or unpublished. Following his inspiration, Jacques Weber mixes improvisation, quotations and scripts, and confides to us like a big secret, softly and cheerfully. Selected scripts include excerpts from works of many great writers like Corneille, Duras, Flaubert, La Fontaine, Molière, Musset, Pagnol, Rimbaud, Rostand, Vian…

At the age of 20, Jacques joined the French National Academy of Dramatic Arts and won the Prize of Excellence on graduation. Joining Robert Hossein in Reims marks the beginning of his successful career in theatre and cinema.

YAF’s members joined the master class by Cie Rêvolution Dance Company performing Urban Ballet. Participants had a different thought on classic ballet and Hip Hop culture. Choreographed by Anthony Égéa, Urban Ballet consists of four acts that mean to show four different ways of incarnating the body. Initially constrained in the midst of a group, each performer strives to express his or her artistic singularity through dancing that gradually becomes liberated. To the sombre purity of Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater answers a sensual solo piece that plays on the male/female ambiguity. The dramatic strain of Ravel’s Boléro propels nine performers along stretched out lines, allowing for sculptural postures. The lyrical power of contemporary music inspires a strange trio performance that makes one feel as if he were penetrating the microcosm of insects. The orchestral piece by Franck II Louise, especially composed for the ballet, conjures up a body of ten dancers.
