Pablo Mira cherche encore le titre de son spectacle

Pablo Mira returns with a third show whose title is deliberately undecided, but whose intent is perfectly clear. On March 19, 2027, he arrives at the Palais des Congrès et des Expositions de la baie de Saint-Brieuc with this new chapter in which he picks at the small annoyances of everyday life, the attitudes that weigh down communal living, and the big trends of the moment that he regards askance—even with his brain neatly filed under “highly gifted.” Between confessions that make you smile and anger kept on a short leash, he lays out his obsessions, tensions and contradictions, even explaining how he manages, methodically, to sabotage his own peace of mind. He drops in mentions of his pricey therapy sessions and his embraced neuroses, the raw material of his writing. No heroic pose or final moral, just a clear-eyed, teasing and slightly jaded take on our shared foibles. Pablo Mira may still be looking for the title of his show, but he knows exactly where to set the dial and how to bring us along.
