Comedy: “Voyage en ascenseur” (“Journey in an Elevator) by Sophie Forte, with Corinne Touzet, organised by the Théâtre des Muses on Thursday 4 April 2019, at 8.30 pm in Théâtre des Variétés.

This is the story of an unlikely encounter. She is the wife of the CEO of a big company, he works there as a cleaning man. Despite her easy life, she is not happy and feels transparent to everyone. Despite his difficult life, he is optimistic, cheerful and wise. But it is not easy to support the other, so different, when one is confined in a small space. Yet this test will change their lives …

Comedy almost burlesque at the beginning, “Journey in elevator” is a very pretty variation on the confrontation with oneself.
