Hugo Collin's "Billy mais pas Elliot" Returns to Théâtre la Flèche After Success

Hugo Collin's solo stage work "Billy mais pas Elliot" returns to the Théâtre la Flèche following a successful run. The autofiction follows Elliot, who at age 9 enters the École de danse de l'Opéra de Paris; the narrative traces his classes, friendships, successes, doubts and constant pursuit of excellence as boarding school, evaluations and fear of expulsion shape his childhood. The production is presented as autofiction: the events stem from personal experience and a subjective viewpoint, and situations and characters were transformed for dramaturgical purposes, with any resemblance to real persons described as fortuitous. Press coverage is quoted in the announcement. Claudine Colozzi, writing in COUP D'ŒIL, said Hugo Collin had returned to the stage and that the stage is incontestably made for him. Amélie Bertrand, in DANSE AVEC LA PLUME, called it a touching, funny and sensitive show filled with tasty anecdotes and great emotions, overflowing with love for dance. Safidin Alouache, in LA REVUE DU SPECTACLE, wrote that beyond the quality of a performance handling voice and words, word and gesture alike, it is also an intimate plunge into a slice of existence that can be found in other lives. The announcement cites a press release as its source and identifies the event as a partner event of the Club Artistik Rezo. The post appeared on Artistikrezo.
