other · 2026-05-18

Jean-François Breuer performs Guillaume Gallienne's autobiographical text "Les Garçons et Guillaume, à table !" at Théâtre des Gémeaux Parisiens as part of the second edition of the Festival Sens, the first festival of solo performances. The play explores Gallienne's childhood confusion about his gender identity, humorously portraying a boy who thinks he is a girl, encouraged by his mother's ambiguous remarks. The production has received critical acclaim, including a "coup de cœur" from Télérama TT in 2025, and praise from La Terrasse, Le Figaro, and Sorties à Paris.
