Az « Au-dessus de tout »

On April 3, 2027, at Le Ponant in Pacé, AZ presents Above It All, a stand-up show that takes as its starting point a discreet taboo: the lack of enthusiasm. On stage, he dismantles the current injunctions — be passionate, committed, all in, and above all have a story to tell — turning them into material that is both funny and precise. He embraces a temperament that remains unmoved by anything and uses it as a throughline to question the tyranny of the extraordinary.

With tightened writing, AZ transforms the blues into a comic device and makes disenchantment a collective mirror. No heroic storytelling here; rather, a clear-eyed look at our little myths of performance and the pressure to be constantly moved. Between observation, irony and tightly held digressions, he draws from everyday life a clear language, without pathos or unnecessary effects.

Above It All is not a confession but a dismantling: that of an era in a hurry to be exceptional, told by someone who prefers a low-key approach to roller-coaster highs.
