Approaching with a smile two problems that no one has yet solved: time and age...
This is the objective set by Françoise Dorin, each work of which is a thunderous hymn to life. Like her eldest Beaumarchais, she always hurried to "laugh before having to cry"!
When we are notified of our retirement, we are regularly bombarded by this little scalpel question: "How old are you?", a question once considered inappropriate, especially for ladies, and now a fashionable question. , a media issue, especially for us actors or actresses.
It is for her husband Jean Piat, that Françoise Dorin wrote "How old are you?" This immense actor played her many times in the 2010s, with undeniable success.

To celebrate the forty years of the Théâtre de la Traverse, its founder, Jean-Louis Châles, now retired from the Nice Conservatory, in turn interprets this mocking lecturer who, in front of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, suggests creating and lead the Ministry of Old Age and its fate! A joke ? Not so sure...
Never has a conference been so joyful, so deliberately optimistic. It combines the acid and sharp writing of Françoise Dorin with the cheeky joie de vivre of Jean Piat.
Both had the bad idea to leave us in 2018.
With this "How old are you?" Jean-Louis Châles rekindles the ironic flame in Françoise's gaze and revives the unforgettable smile of the great Jean. Great artists are immortal.
