Alone on stage, Emeric Cheseaux tells the story of his move from a small town to the “big city”. Through his imitations, funny, touching and deeply human portraits of the figures who populated his youth unfold.
Filled with humor and truth, La révérence takes us into the most intimate of family relationships, where two subjects dear to its performer collide: the rural environment from which he comes and “his difference”. With harvest crates as his only props, the actor reappropriates the language of his origins to reconcile his heritage with his identity.
It’s a story about the locals, in which you’re bound to recognize yourself in.
