Diedonne's new show SANDRINE!

TMoreno

A good way to learn and laugh in French:
After the enormous box-office success of his last show, “Patrick’s Divorce”, the comedian DIEUDONNÉ returns with his newest stage show “Sandrine”. This deals with the theme of marital violence. Patrick has become a wounded animal, unable to accept the break-up with Sandrine. He drifts into a hellish downward spiral of hatred and violence, leading to a lawsuit which is the subject of this comedy.

The contrast between the austere courtroom setting with its solemn conventions and the humorous scenes taking place in it sets up a tension that helps to reveal Patrick’s character and his humanity. The courtroom setting makes it possible for DIEUDONNÉ to present us with a rogues’ gallery of interesting and humourous characters. Among them are an African lawyer who over claims extravagantly, a misogynist Chinese doctor and a priest who preaches the joys of abstinence!

The issues touched on, while sensitive, are more social than political on this occasion. The world DIEUDONNÉ portrays here represents a return to his earlier apolitical comedic roots.
