Il ne m'est jamais rien arrivé with Vincent Dedienne

Vincent Dedienne brings the private journals of acclaimed French playwright Jean-Luc Lagarce to life, addressing the audience directly and revealing the inner world of a young playwright coming of age. With wit and vulnerability, Lagarce reflects on his daily life, his ambitions, his doubts, and his deep devotion to the theater.

Set between Paris and Besançon in the 1980s, the performance traces a life lived mostly in solitude but with great intensity, shaped by artistic obsession, desire, friendship, and loss. As the AIDS crisis emerges and major figures of French culture such as Coluche and Simone Signoret pass away, his writing captures the weight of a generation facing uncertainty.
