La fin du début: a humorous one-man show at Théâtre Lepic

Every child who grows up becomes aware of the existence of unanswered questions. Solal Bouloudnine 's humorous one-man show explores this awareness at Théâtre Lepic until April 29, 2025. Critically acclaimed, the one-man show runs every Monday and Tuesday at 9pm.

With his one-man show La fin du début (The End of the Beginning ), Solal Bouloudnine takes us into the eyes of a child of the 90s who, like all the generations before and after him, realizes that everything comes to an end - including life itself. Through this realization, in the intimate Théâtre Lepic, he takes us on a journey tinged with anguish and existential reflection, in a comedy that promises to be both sensitive and dizzying.

Through a gallery of whimsical characters and to the rhythm of Michel Berger songs, Solal Bouloudnine, alone on stage, takes us with La fin du début at the Théâtre Lepic into a whirlwind of humor where we seem to laugh at everything, even the worst. From cancer to venereal disease, from cardiovascular disorders to gastric and cerebral ailments, he mockingly tackles the loneliness that overwhelms him, the misunderstanding between people and the carefree childhood that is irretrievably swept away by a pitiless, absurd world. The play is suitable for ages 12 and up, and is perfect if you want to disconnect from the outside world for an evening.
