"The Note is rather the musical note": Sophie Marceau confides in her next piece

"Sophie, François, for you is this piece rather funny or rather sad?" Facing the camera, the two actors let a short silence pass before exclaiming at the same time: “Ah, rather funny!” (for Sophie Marceau), “Rather sad!” (for François Berléand). The two actors stare at each other for a moment, let another silence pass. Before laughing. The same duo will soon share the stage in the play La Note, a text and a staging by the author Audrey Schebat, at the Bouffes Parisiens theater in the second arrondissement of Paris from September 28.

The play, which will be played for 90 dates in Paris before going on tour throughout France, marks the great return of the actress on the boards. The last time Sophie Marceau performed in a live performance was in 2011, when she played the character of Victoria in A Soul Affair.

This time, she confesses to returning to the theater less because she lacks discipline than out of love for this play, which was sent to her. “I found Audrey Schebat's text beautiful, funny, intelligent, fluid and with pep. He says universal and everyday things, ”she confided to Le Figaro on May 30.

In La Note, the actress will play the character of Maud, a world-renowned pianist unable to forgive her companion, Julien, who tried to commit suicide without leaving a word to her. “She chose a man who is a psychoanalyst and therefore close to artistic sensitivity and to the human. She is in the light, he is more in the shadows. This too, it can unbalance the couple, it is difficult to integrate, to accept, ”explains the actress about this role, still at Figaro.

The couple, who seek to understand and reinvent themselves, will have one night to leave each other or to love each other again.
