Description

Unlike bees and birdsong, war is not going away.<p> Since it has never seemed more necessary to say it again, then let us say it again: war, no thank you.</p><p> Through texts by Boris Vian, Georges Perec, Jacques Prévert and other jokers of the same ilk, Florent Aumaître embodies in turn a disillusioned soldier, a grunt without a flower in his rifle barrel, and the man who laughs at the pitiful spectacle of those who decide to manufacture cannon fodder.</p><p> This one-man show, which also sings about atomic bombs and deserters, takes the gamble of saying with tenderness, humor and a beating heart, what all ears should hear: war is disgusting.<br><br> <strong>Did you know that?</strong><br> Florent Aumaître performed Maupassant's The Horla more than 500 times from 2011 to 2019, including at the Michel Theatre and the Lucernaire.</p>
