ALCESTE A BICYCLETTE (CYCLING WITH MOLIERE) - 2012
A once great actor, Serge Tanneur (Fabrice Lucchini), has retired from the limelight. Too much pressure meant that one day, he simply decided he would act no more. For the past three years, he has lived in solitude on the Ile de Re, spending his time cycling through the wind-swept landscape. With the play's producer, Gauthier's agent and his lover all arriving on the island at the weekend, the pressure is on Serge to make up his mind. Is he merely toying with Gauthier, or does he really intend to take the stage once more?
