to talk about 

Everyone knew

, the only-on-stage in which she uses the words of Valérie Bacot, a woman victim of domestic violence who ended up killing her husband, Sylvie Testud explains why she finds herself more authentic on stage than in the real life.

"It's hard in life to take the risk of telling someone you love them"

Sylvie Testud takes one example in particular to illustrate her point:

"In life, it's difficult to take the risk of telling someone you love them if you don't know the answer you're going to get on the other side. Me, for example, in the life, I don't want to be told 'no, not me.' So I'm going to play a character and try to be a little funny, a little charming. happened to say 'I love you' to someone in a way that I have never dared to say in life". 

Actors and actresses have the right to be "weak" and to "suffer" 

In front of the camera, the actor or actress "has the right to be weak, to be in doubt or even to suffer", underlines Sylvie Testud.

"There is beauty that emanates from it since everything is driven by history".

Which is not the case in real life, where the actress likes to overplay, to give relief to her emotions.

"I think all people generally overplay. That's how we manage to live in society. It's called courtesy, isn't it?", she concludes. 

*Sylvie Testud interprets, on the stage of the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, the words of Valérie Bacot, a woman victim of domestic violence who ended up killing her husband, in the only-on-stage "Everyone knew".

The show is on view from October 4 to December 30, 2022.
