DAVID CASTELLO-LOPES

DAVID CASTELLO-LOPES NEW SHOW "DÉLICIEUX" "I almost called this show 'Pleasure'. And then I told myself that the only pleasures one would think of with such a title would be pleasures forbidden to those under 18. However, for financial reasons, I want those under 18 to also be able to attend my show. So I called it 'Délicieux' (Delicious): it's a family show. In an hour and a quarter, I will try to unravel the complexity of what causes pleasure in human beings. Of course, pleasure can come from a glass of Chasselas that you make last on the shores of the lake in the spring. But it can also be caused by the death of a being you don't like. Of course, an unexpected promotion within the company brings joy. But also the fact of eating Gruyère in Gruyères, or knowing – when you are French – that you don't pronounce the 'z' in Étivaz (which allows us to correct with delight all the fools who make the mistake). My goal is for this show to bring you a certain pleasure, in a mise en abyme as delicious as eating Gruyère in Gruyères". David Castello-Lopes
