Expression 7 - Ange Philippe Léotard

Ange Philippe Léotard Tomasi—the man who wanted to heal himself from life. A Rimbaud-esque teenager, consumed by Artaud’s cruelty. He founded the Théâtre du Soleil with Ariane Mnouchkine. A wild look, outbursts of anger, excesses, and incredible charm. Drunk on the bar side. Women on the side of the impossible dream—he lived a life of splendor, yet crippled. A life on a razor’s edge, instinctive, sharp. Exposed, in a moment of poignant truth, hiding nothing of his own wounds. Committed in the face of the cynicism of the powerful, swept away by the absurdity of the world. An old child still young, with a probing gaze. He died of respiratory failure—a fact that speaks for itself.

Performance: 1 hour 15 minutes. By reservation only.
