MovieComedy
A well-to-do bourgeois, Tartarin lives in Tarascon, a small southern town, among friends who, like him, love hunting "à la casquette", gossip, aperitifs and thought-provoking journeys. Imaginative like all his compatriots, Tartarin ended up believing he had once been to Shanghai, so fervently did he recount his illusory adventures. It was even rumored that Tartarin was about to leave for Africa to hunt wild beasts, and this was so insistent that the brave man, urged on by his friends, was forced "for the sake of honor" to embark. He arrives in Casablanca, surprised to discover a modern city and not a single lion. But a charming Moorish woman, Baïa, seduces him, and Tartarin indulges in the "delights of Capua". This euphoria is short-lived: Baïa disappears, a false prince, mostly a swindler, finds a replacement and sets off on a hunting expedition in southern Morocco, which will only earn Tartarin the loss of his savings and a blind old lion dragged along by two beggars.

François Morel-Raymond Devos, Raymond Devos-François Morel, and the loop has come full circle! Because the actor's new creation, Molière 2019, borrows from the illustrious artist the title of one of his famous sketches in which he questions the universe, the madness of existence, the incommunicability with his unequaled talent. Fascinated by this great clown with "a touch of madness capable of blocking the well-oiled mechanics of logic, reality, everyday life", François Morel immersed himself body and soul in his texts to invent a musical show in his homage . Devilishly cheerful! 100 ème représentation au Théâtre de Caen
