It is on the terrace of a café, place Anne-Grommerch, sitting sipping a juice that you begin the experience of Cinema. Equipped with headphones, the company Opéra Pagaï de Bordeaux invites you to become a little voyeur, drawing you into his fantasies between fiction and reality. The dialogues between Betty and Simon guide you for almost two hours. You meet Tony, the coffee maker, Colette la quinqua a little lost, her son Richard who dreams of becoming a baroque singer but also Mario, this father who has just lost his job and his banker Jeanne without forgetting Fred , the cop who slips into the shoes of a homeless man at the start of the play.

Untangling the true from the false
It’s not easy, the first few minutes, to disentangle the true from the false. Who are the actors, who are the passers-by? Betty and Simon are two screenwriters who imagine several plots by being inspired by what they see, by observing these everyday heroes. “How about making a story with real people?” », Here is the beginning of Cinema. The result is original, hilarious at times, and also very funny when they set off on a chase. It is about love, loneliness, hope, all enhanced by music that fits perfectly to the scenes. For non-spectators, the questions are great, especially when they see the eight actors dancing and intertwining. Their dumbfounded looks say it all. The company took the time to adapt its text to the place, evoking the Belfry, the Tourist Office, the names of the streets as well and the surrounding towns. With Cinema , anything can happen: the street then becomes the theater of possibilities, and each passer-by, the potential character of an incredible reality. A formula that caused a sensation, congratulated by applause fed by “Awesome! “.
