Olivier de Benoist « Le droit au bonheur »

Olivier de Benoist returns with a show in which he examines happiness through the lens of family life. The man who thought he would find peace has mostly ended up with a wife, children and an inexhaustible supply of material to tell stories about. With a taste for the unexpected and sharply honed self-mockery, he unfolds a kind of initiation quest in living-room–kitchen mode, where you discover that you can adore your loved ones while sometimes dreaming of slipping away. Between very everyday confidences, unapologetic bad faith and precise observations about couple life, he asks a simple, fertile question: how do you remain happy when you share everything, all the time?

Written with Paul‑Marie Debrie and Jérôme Daran, this one-man show focuses on small domestic conflicts, compromises and parental logistics, crafting scenes in which everyone recognizes themselves without dwelling on them. Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes. Olivier de Benoist will present this show at Zinga Zanga Béziers on April 9, 2026—an opportunity to rediscover his gift for a neat turn of phrase, his storytelling art and his way of turning household troubles into well-delivered, direct anecdotes.
