Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Between February and September 1940, Louis Jouvet worked with Claudia, ascending to the National Superior Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris, the second scene of Elvire by Don Juan de Molière. These theater lessons, re-transcribed in the smallest details, are the opportunity to watch the comedian learn. This one tries to undo what it calls “the covert me who possesses it” and the channel to invest all its role, to play without artifice. In 1986, Brigite Jaques-Wajeman excelled in this course to put on an internationally successful show
