Info
Comme on quitte un imperméable is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Thomas Fersen, to be published by Le Seuil in May 2026. A co-production of Zouave and La Scala, this show, directed by Samuel Achache, will premiere this summer in Avignon, then be performed in Paris and throughout France until summer 2028. Interwoven with unreleased songs or songs from his repertoire, and performed by Thomas Fersen accompanied by three musicians, Comme on quitte un imperméable tells in octosyllables how, after discouraging beginnings in music and the loss of his part-time job as a cable puller, the hero is sent to Mexico by his father. Tender and funny, Thomas Fersen lends youth memories to his apprentice globe-trotter. With whimsy, he evokes the exoticism and luxuriance, devotion and religiosity of the lands he has traversed, offering us an allegorical vision of his adventures. A coming-of-age journey, an epic as piquant as it is wildly fantastical, the dangers faced by the hero are as many rites of passage into adulthood. Tender and funny, Comme on quitte un imperméable carries us away by the poetic power of its writing. A singer-songwriter and performer, Thomas Fersen is a singular figure in French song, with his inimitable sense of evocation.
