Sellig « Épisode 6 »

On March 14, 2026, Sellig is at the Salle Poirel in Nancy with Épisode 6, a one-man show he both wrote and directed. True to his take on everyday life, he explores those moments when a single detail derails a day and delights in taking apart seemingly trivial situations to reveal what they really signify.

He recounts his culinary apprenticeship, when theory collides with practice and every gesture matters. He also reflects on his “fifty‑something” phase — the stage that follows turning fifty — which he observes with perspective and self‑mockery. And he reopens the door to an old‑fashioned Christmas at his sister’s, with Bernard, the brother‑in‑law whose composure is never ruffled, for a plainspoken family scene.

Épisode 6 unfolds a series of stories and characters in which one recognizes quirks, irritations and contradictions. It is a compact, rhythmical piece in which Sellig turns the ordinary into theatrical material, with the constant attention to detail and observation that mark his style.
