The Art Guignol troupe presents "Bonne nuit Danny" at the end of January! What if a dream could make you relive an entire life? Dive into a whirlwind of memories that could be yours. - Synopsis Danny, a talented pastry chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant on the Ile de Noirmoutier, dies. And that's where it all begins. On the night of 9 December, his life was turned upside down. The young man in his thirties let go and gave his unconscious a boundless playground. A private space-time where characters as bizarre as they are ordinary cross paths with destinies revisited. A shifted reflection of her life, her frustrations and her unspoken desires. As the dream stretches on, the twists and turns follow and the truths come out. It's a night full of emotions that Danny won't soon forget. "Bonne nuit Danny" invites us to explore the intimate territory of dreams, the starry crossroads where anything is possible. Somewhere between poetry and humour, this original creation by Gaëtan Favreau takes the audience on a dreamlike journey through a labyrinth that is as funny as it is touching.
