Victoria Pianasso in Rester simple at Scène Libre

A comedy show combining stand-up, sketch, song parodies and even a bit of dance, it's the principle of an apéro dînatoire: there's something for everyone, and you can pick and choose. That's Victoria Pianasso's challenge, to help you forget your Sunday night blues. So head on over to the Scène Libre at Théâtre Libre, every Thursday from November 30, 2023 to January 11, 2024.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". She didn't say it, Leonardo da Vinci did. For her first show, Victoria is thinking big. She's proposing an American-style show on a fairground budget. She wants to achieve perfection, but doesn't know how much is 8 x 9. She tries her hand at stand-up, playing characters instead. She covers famous melodies, but with unfamiliar lyrics. She's been told to"keep it simple", and she hasn't succeeded.

Victoria Pianasso is an artist who uses both characters and songs to explore and express a range of contradictions and questions. In her work, she challenges traditional notions of femininity and aggression, asking whether it's possible to be both at the same time. She also questions the role of honesty and authenticity in society, wondering if the world would be a better place if we wore all our flaws on our sleeves.

Victoria Pianasso 's work also addresses the intersection of gender and consumerism, wondering what the world would look like for women if they experienced it as men, and whether it's possible to shop in certain boutiques without feeling guilty. She also explores the role of technology and convenience in modern life, questioning whether the postal service really simplifies our lives.

Despite her pertinent themes, Pianasso tackles these subjects with humor and her own unique style, characterized by rhythm, quirkiness and finesse. She also manages to stage memorable and captivating performances on a limited budget, proving that it's possible to put on a Superbowl-worthy show for just €12. Through her artistic expression, Victoria Pianasso invites her audience to reflect on these diverse and complex subjects, and to question their own experiences and perspectives.
