Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

Marine Leonardi arrives with Mauvaise Graine at Zénith Amiens Métropole in Amiens on January 31, 2027. A French comedian with a keen eye for detail, she tackles the frictions of everyday life with no pretense and no unnecessary niceties. For her, coupledom, motherhood, mental load and the injunctions that stick to the skin become fodder for a sharp, biting dissection—scenes you recognize from real life and thoughts you usually keep to yourself.

On stage, Marine tears apart the contradictions that follow us everywhere, telling of love and exhaustion, of lopsided divisions of responsibility and the roles we assume without thinking. Her writing is direct, her punchlines dry but precise, halfway between blunt confession and clear-sighted observation. No moralising or stagey effects, just situations that ring true, a willingness to say the unsayable and to turn awkwardness into nervous laughter. Mauvaise Graine is her playground: a frank gaze, a lively tongue, and the ability to upend certainties without raising her voice.
