Description
Following the resounding success of her 2023 tour that took her to New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles, Caroline Loeb, French pop icon of the 1980s, is crossing the Atlantic once again to present her captivating show in which she embodies the legendary Françoise Sagan. This new American tour promises a unique immersion into the universe of the author of "Bonjour Tristesse." (Good Bye Sadness)
Directed by the talented Alex Lutz, a multi-faceted artist recognized for his excellence in theater, cinema, and comedy, this show has already won over French critics, earning a nomination at the 2018 Molière Awards in the Best Solo Performance category.
Caroline Loeb becomes Françoise Sagan, the vibrant and passionate novelist who found success at the age of 18 with the (then) scandalous 1954 novel "Bonjour Tristesse".
By adapting a compilation of interviews with Sagan, Caroline Loeb revives the symbol of a generation freeing herself from bourgeois diktats, this “charming little monster” as François Mauriac called her.
Sagan's words are both sensitive and philosophical and her acute intelligence coupled with a scathing and subtle sense of humor hits the mark every time. Sagan speaks to us about universal issues: life, death, and love of course, but also about her deep love for literature, her taste for gambling, and the importance of solitude.
Caroline invites you to spend an evening with Françoise Sagan during a daring, touching, and witty monologue.
The show is in French.
