What follows is 1 hour and 15 minutes of truths mixed with absurdities, giving us a whole new—and quite scary—perspective on the political world.

Person, at the Théâtre de la Ville  

The father of Gwenaëlle Aubry was part of what we call "madmen." Those who are no longer fully themselves, who tip over and become strangers to their own being. Published in 2009, the book Person recreates, in the form of an encyclopedia, the portrait of this vanished man. Adapted for the stage, this book transforms into a brilliant solo performance, where Sarah Karbasnikoff gives voice to the unfinished manuscript of this father.
