After eight one-man shows, our ardent defender of the French language files for bankruptcy: his friend words have betrayed him! He is desperate to see the harmful use of hateful words conveying "fuck news". With self-flammable words on Snapchat and TikTok, these real social zoos, language is in detached traps and the world is heading for a text crash!
So he decides to become a mime to be silent! Moving from word to gesture, gradually, he deletes two words here, two words there. But his metamorphosis is short-lived, because, very quickly, he regains his tongue to become the "spokesperson" for mimes! Immediately, he falls back into his "verbo-motor" reflexes...
When suddenly, Raymond Devos appears (under Kroll's pencil), a clown juggler of words and mime, to give Bruno the desire to take language back to heart, to give words back their salutary powers.
"My 9th symfolie", a ceremony of ivy words, those words that generate so many others and nourish our imagination!
Hats off to the artists!
