L'été au Château 2026 : Laurent Gerra

Laurent Gerra, a leading figure of French humour and impressions, will take the stage at the Château de l’Empéri in Salon‑de‑Provence on July 3, 2026, as part of L’été au Château 2026. He presents Se met à table, a show conceived like a well‑seasoned menu in which he unfolds his gallery of voices, blending classics and new pieces to portray the times with precision. Politics, song, television, cinema — nothing is spared, carried by writing that goes straight to the point and a finely honed sense of timing. You find what defines his style: portraits that point out foibles without heaviness, razor‑tight transitions and the ability to move from one character to another in the blink of an eye. The mannerisms of public figures are pinned down, familiar refrains are cleverly subverted, and current events are taken apart and reassembled from a new angle. Gerra plays with the music of words, works on intonation, tweaks the detail that hits the mark, and holds the stage without unnecessary artifices. It’s an event made for the outdoors, where his mimicry mechanics meet the energy of a historic venue open to the city.
