LES SÉRÉNISSIMES DE L'HUMOUR - MICHEL BOUJENAH

Les adieux des magnifiques Part 1 (the saga of the magnifiques brought up to date) Theatre is both ephemeral and eternal. A long time ago, I wrote a phrase that could be my coat of arms: ‘As long as there are authors to write for us and actors to play us, we will be eternal’ So I decided to say goodbye to these characters that I love so much. Maxo, Julot, Guigui, my three little trouser salesmen. My three heroes in an adventure where what they have to save is memory. They are funny and moving. They are the imaginary version of my father's generation. Long before the internet and everything else, they were worried about whether they would be remembered two or three generations from now. They often say: - ‘In two or three generations Les magnifiques? The magnificent ones? Isn't that a brand of cheese?’ The gap between them and their grandchildren is such that they're sure they're going to disappear. But God will come to their rescue. So, with their characteristic laughter and humour, they're going to fight and, of course, win. ‘You can't know where you're going if you forget where you came from’, so these heroes are on a par with Spartacus, Skywalker or Ulysses. Of course, it's a new version full of new things, simply because times change. And then comes perhaps the most beautiful of all: ‘SIMONE BOUTBOUL’ She's going to talk to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren about the world today. You may well ask yourself: ‘But is it funny?

Come and see. Love to you all. MICHEL BOUJENAH
