Mathieu Madénian « À pleurer de rire »

Mathieu Madénian — "To Cry with Laughter" — is the promise Mathieu Madénian makes with this fourth show, in which he recounts, with his characteristic self-deprecating humor, how his life and deepest certainties were upended by the late arrival of his first child. For a fast-paced hour, Mathieu takes us on a dive into the tumultuous world of a newly minted father trying to juggle the absurdity of a world on the brink of chaos while learning the ropes of parenthood.

How do you reconcile a traditional upbringing with the new wave of modern fatherhood? How do you explain concepts of gender to your son when you don’t even master TikTok? And above all, how do you avoid coming across as an out-of-touch boomer? With his gift for turning everyday life into comedy, Mathieu talks about his mistakes, his blunders, and the lessons he learns from his little boy who, barely born, already seems to know more about life than he does. A journey in which Mathieu delivers a deeply personal show.
