" Hello everyone. Let's go for this new day of "The Comedy continues". I am delighted to spend this day with you. I am Elsa Lepoivre, member of the Comédie-Française… ”

Every day, an actress from the “French” presents the Comédie-Française's web-TV program . One way to find the public during this period of confinement.

"Staying in touch" with the public

" A single actor can do nothing," explains Éric Ruf, administrator of the Maison de Molière. An instrumentalist perhaps if he has his clarinet, his scales; a dancer can exercise. An actor all alone… It is a collective art, so the idea of ​​this continuous TV, of this "Comedy continues" really came from that, to keep the link with our audience, with all our partners, with educational actions , and at the same time, make sure that inside, we can cling to a common work. "

From 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. alternate poetic and educational pastilles to end the evening with a recording of a piece from the repertoire. Extract from Molière's Misanthrope, act 1, Philinte: “ It's madness like no other, to want to get involved in correcting the world. I observe, like you, a hundred things every day that could go better taking another course. "

This Saturday evening, don't miss Peer Gynt by the Norwegian author Henrik Ibsen, with a staging by Eric Ruf. And it's Denis Podalydès who improvises as presenter of the day.
