"A certain mountain bear, a half-licked bear, confined by Fate in a united wood," said La Fontaine.
The very beginning of this fable resonates instantly with Fabrice Lucchini: "He is confined by fate, we are confined by the Covid-19!"
After spotting different fables, he decides to post them on Instagram.
Some of them reach 200,000 or even 300,000 views on the social network.
At that moment, the actor said to himself "here it is, now: I have a show, I'm going to call it
La Fontaine et le confinement
".
The moral of the latter is rather simple: "Stop locking us up because otherwise we will go crazy."
"You keep locking us up!"
At the time, he did not hesitate to challenge the executive on this aspect.
"I went so far as to call the President of the Republic and Édouard Philippe at the time", to allow "to tell them" You keep locking us up! "The actor notably mentioned another part from the fable: the bear “lived alone and hidden, he had gone mad” as well as “reason usually does not live long among sequestered people.” A way for him to express the psychological distress of a part of the population during this unprecedented period.
