From Violette the roulette-wheel whore to Victor the child serial killer, via Cyrano de Vergerac, Michaël lays himself bare as he tackles themes such as politics, the star system, homosexuality, and television. He cries, thrashes about, dances, sings, makes the audience scream, gives himself over completely—outrageous yet poetic—playing with limits and flirting with disaster… without a safety net and with great generosity.
