PERFORMANCE DETAILS
Everything is just un PUTAIN de jeu !
The Waiting is a burlesque one-woman show experience. Vibrant, snappy, bold, this one-woman show is defying the rules of conventional theatre in only 30mn.
Join Maeva, a French posh girl and ex supermodel who just ran away from her wedding. She arrives at this rustic pub. Waiting. For nothing. She just needs a minute, okay? To think. And remember. Maybe? About her previous life, full of fame, dodgy shrimps and Jean-Paul Gaultier. The good old days, you see?
Under a layer of Champagne Rosé and glitters, The Waiting is feminist, sarcastic and punchy.
As if Fleabag and The French show « Connasse » made a beautiful baby, we take the time to wait with Maeva, who left a trail of destruction behind her whole life. Have a sit, have a sip while she navigates her mind, and sharing hidden memories. Will she ever get her diet Martini?
