Laurent Gerra se met à table

On April 29, 2027, Le Scarabée in Riorges welcomes Laurent Gerra with 'Se met à table'. A leading figure in French impersonation, he presents a current-events revue designed for the stage, in which he scrutinizes politicians, singers, and well-known faces from television and film. With his command of language and a keen ear, Gerra lines up a gallery of instantly recognizable voices, from punchy lines to asides that veer just the right amount. Sketches, pastiches and songs follow one another in a rhythm that keeps the news at the center of the table. 'Se met à table' plays with the idea of a meal: hot service, homemade sauces, and well-aimed barbs. The performer moves between recent political figures and staples of his repertoire, without neglecting the parody song, a terrain where he delights in toying with timbres and mannerisms. The precision of the impersonations and the musicality of the texts provide the glue, creating a moment that speaks as much to news addicts as to lovers of satire.
