INTERVIEW
For Camille Chamoux, actress, humorist and member of the jury of the Champs-Elysées Film Festival, theater is a vocation. On Europe 1, she told Monday how the love of the scene came into her life, from the age of six and a half, thanks to L'Avare , the famous play by Molière.

"Since I was little, I have always loved theater," says Camille Chamoux. This passion for the stage was indeed triggered from a very young age during a family visit. "I played a scene from L'Avare at the age of six and a half to my grandmother who had broken her wrist. She was very unhappy. I loved watching my family laugh when I saw that I was playing my brother we took the scene over and over again. I didn't want to stop playing that scene anymore, "she says.
Fascinated by Michel Serrault
This desire to become an actress was then reinforced thanks to a representation of L'Avare , in which Michel Serrault played Harpagon and in which Camille Chamoux attended. "I was around the fourth row and Michel Serrrault came down for the monologue of La cassette. He passed through the rows and in front of me," she recalls.

Camille Chamoux, who was not watching television at the time, said that she had "the feeling that someone was dropping out of television to come and talk to you". The effect of this scene was almost instantaneous. "I came home and asked my mother to play me, to explain things to me, to make me work in the theater. Since this episode, I have never given up on the idea of making theater."
