Sophie Darel
The show
Sophie takes us into her TV room of the great variety shows that offered audiences that no channel will ever be able to reach again, where she presented all the singing actors of those crazy 70s/80s.
Without exception, everyone on Guy Lux's set trembled with stage fright before taking the plunge into the terrifying void of live television without teleprompters. They all felt, as she did, that connection that can only be experienced between artists.
This explains why the biggest names, Brel, Mitchell, Sardou, Lama, Distel, Jonasz… had chosen Sophie to be by their side in their opening acts, at Bobino, at the Olympia, and for their summer tours with her impersonation act.
New original show
In her new show, Sophie is quickly interrupted by a spectator claiming to be a journalist, who violently contradicts her when she explains that she had to present a show alone following an outburst from Guy Lux who left the set, furious because of a broken hairdryer.
After two or three heated exchanges, Sophie invites this journalist to come and explain himself on stage since he seems to know more than she does about her own career.
Alternating between stage and musical creations, the show unfolds like a fast-paced performance, at once funny, corrosive and impertinent, but also rich in emotions, centered around an offbeat and sometimes very indiscreet interview that this former paparazzi from the scandal press will subject him to, supported by unpublished documents, photos and press clippings… leading up to an absolutely delirious finale.
