“The complicity we have serves the play a lot”estimates Anne Le Nen’s companion alongside her partner before adding with humor: “To see two people who love each other, who are not together, who do not sleep together, well until now, there is little chance. It’s beautiful to see friendship, it’s reassuring, that warms the heart.” Pierre Arditi, for his part, is particularly teasing with his sidekick. According to him, the best part of the show is at the end when Muriel Robin “stops, she stops talking, it gives life a boost.” A friendly sequence which nevertheless provoked strong reactions.
“Well, she works the day, what is she complaining about?”, “So she works”, “Soon! ‘I didn’t have a career in the theater because I’m homosexual’”, “Only homophobes won’t buy their tickets “, “Muriel Robin, without talent, without me”, “When you don’t have talents, you don’t have talents for life”, “So the “whining” about homophobia would only have been “a promotion plan for this play! That said, for Muriel Robin, the theater… it suits her!”we can read in particular on X, formerly Twitter.

If you are homosexual, you are not desirable, you are not penetrable, and when you are not penetrable, in this society, and in cinema, you is worthless […] In 30 years have you seen me? I know how many comedies I’ve been in: two”she confided to Léa Salamé on the set of What an era. Words that unleash passions.
