How to react? Faced with this catastrophic situation for the “fadas” of the small screen, the mother has a completely crazy idea. Step outside the narrow confines of television, transpose her neighbors into reality TV, and drag her family into this infernal spiral, just to save the evening… This satirical comedy about a social phenomenon that few people escape is brought to life by an explosive trio. Gérard Rinaldi, the former Rebel (name of his first group that also launched Antoine) became one of the Charlots for nearly twenty years before embarking on a solo career with “La Descente aux enfers,” which transformed into an ascent to the paradise of comedians where he shone in “Double Mixte” alongside Christian Clavier. His fame was followed by the immense success of the TV series “Marc et Sophie,” not to mention cinema, music, and dubbing for foreign films and animated movies.
Since the passing of Michel Modo, he has been one of the voices of the series The Simpsons. Alongside him are two women of temperament and talent: Virginie Pradal—ten years at the Comédie Française and a First Prize in Dramatic Art—who has worked in cinema and continues her career in theater where she will perform Sacha Guitry’s “Aux Deux Colombes” after “Bon week-end avec M. Bennett” (played by the late Michel Roux) and “Dévorez-moi” written by and starring Olivier Lejeune. Marie Orlandi, “child of the stage” with a director father and an actress mother, who successfully embodied Piaf in the musical “Piaf je t’aime” in 2007. Even if your television is not broken, go out to see this “Panne de télé” which is playing in Nice…
