It's the story of his quest to build himself musically, gradually finding his place, meeting his limits and taming his doubts. It's a tale of dusty conservatory teaching, family dinners, singing boats, the recorder and Pôle Emploi advisers, "Are you hot in Carcassonne? !!!!!" and a possible reincarnation as an Atlantic blue lobster. A cross between theatre, live music and radio creation, "Bien, reprenons!" is a poetic epic, as rhythmic as a musical score, a funny and touching journey through life, a musical roadtrip for a man in search of himself. Intimate and universal...

When the worst is yet to come, should we rely on artists? Aren't we increasingly giving them the role of entertaining, that is to say, etymologically, of "diverting", which wouldn't really be doing us any favours when imminent peril looms on the horizon? A specialist in zany forms and unclassifiable one-man shows, Jérôme Rouger's new work questions the place of the artist and, by a semantic shift, the place of laughter in our societies. Is it possible to take on titanic challenges, real or virtual, with only the weapon of a wicked, mischievous and impertinent sense of humour?

It will also be a chance to catch up with her brothers Gabriel and Ziggy, and to meet their spouses Arthur and Florence. As everyone gets to know each other, the absence of the mother surprises, then worries. Somewhere between the comedies of Jaoui/Bacri and Le Perche, Mother's Day is a tragicomedy that pays tribute to siblings, to people who talk without listening and who understand each other without talking.

Parachuted into space-time, the dancers act in unison to deal with urgency, looking to the future, loving and struggling at every moment. What counts is living furiously and dancing until the end. The countdown begins, 2048 seconds in which time, whether social, historical or musical, rushes by, stops, calls up memories and projections.
