Sellig « Épisode 6 »

Sellig arrives at the Espace Culturel Les Vikings in Yvetot on October 1, 2026, with Épisode 6, a one-man show he both wrote and directed. True to his keen eye, he plunges into everyday life and its blind spots — those tiny details that are enough to derail a day. He takes apart seemingly banal situations to bring out what they really reveal about us.

On the bill is his gruelling apprenticeship in the kitchen, where theory falters as soon as practice shows up, told with an almost clinical precision. He also addresses his “fifty-three-ness,” tougher to swallow than simply being fifty, with the mix of lucidity and self-deprecating humor that has followed him since the start of his career. And he cracks open the door to an old-fashioned Christmas at his sister’s, with Bernard, the brother-in-law of calm composure, for a no-frills family portrait.

Épisode 6 strings together characters, tics and irritations in which everyone recognizes themselves. With crisp pacing, precise writing and an immediate presence, Sellig turns the ordinary into candid, unvarnished scenes.
