Throughout the pages of his book “Saving the Moment”, published by Actes Sud, actor Nicolas Bouchaud looks back on more than 30 years of theater career.

He reveals behind the scenes and his passion for his profession as well as the different facets of acting.

Publicity

His name is regularly placed at the top of the poster for public theater shows, in particular those of Jean-François Sivadier or Éric Didry, after Didier-Georges Gabily, Yann-Joël Collin or Rodrigo Garcia.

He also pays homage to them in this book, a series of short chapters that takes us to the heart of his happy or unhappy experiences, before, during or after the time of the stage.

Nicolas bouchaud

recounts over the pages the spirit of the troop.

In his hotel room struggling with a difficult-to-learn text, or during a premiere drink after a failed performance.

Above all, he makes us experience "this suspended moment", this moment stolen from time through which the actor, by the fullness of his art, takes the spectator into the magic of the theater.

Today is a journey to the heart of the game.

“Saving the moment”, by Nicolas Bouchaud, is published by Actes Sud editions.
