a poignant text on migrants performed by Jacques Weber

It is a play that risks chilling the blood of many spectators. The “Fishing of the day”, a text written by Éric Fotorino and voiced by Jean-Michel Ribes will be played by the indescribable Jacques Weber from January 21 at the Rond-Point theater (Paris). This is a “dialogue between a man and a fisherman who spends his nights dragging up the corpses of migrants in his nets“explains cultural journalist Youssef Bouchiki”.

And this subject, eminently tough and topical, is one of the reasons that led Jacques Weber to accept this new role: “We are in the elections and we never hear about this appalling problem in this way.“, begins the actor. Before adding: “On the other hand, we hear about it all the time in the other way, rejoicing like Mrs. Pécresse this morning [NDLR : le lundi 17 janvier] that we have put additional watchtowers at this or that camp“. For Jean-Michel Ribes, this text “condemns our total blindness, our refusal to listen to what is happening near our home where women, children are dying“.
