Sellig « Épisode 6 »

Sellig returns with Episode 6, a one-man show that he both wrote and directs. See you on October 13, 2026, at the Casino Barrière Toulouse in Toulouse. True to his keen eye on everyday life, he probes those little nothings that can derail a day, dismantles seemingly innocuous situations and exposes their underside. He recounts his tough apprenticeship in the kitchen, where theory rubs up against practice with an almost surgical rigor. He also addresses his “fifty-three-ness,” tougher to swallow than simply being fifty, with a dose of lucidity and self-mockery. And he reopens the door on an old-fashioned Christmas at his famous sister’s, accompanied by Bernard, the brother-in-law with imperturbable composure, for a no-frills family tableau.

For ninety minutes, Sellig strings together stories and characters in which everyone recognizes their habits, irritations and contradictions. Tight writing, an eye for detail, brisk tempo: Episode 6 transforms the ordinary into scenes that hit the mark without overplaying the hand.
