This is an initiative that is welcome these days! This Tuesday, May 10, 2022, the actor Stephane de Groodt organized a special evening on the stage of the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre, in Paris, entitled An evening in absurdity. The profits from the evening were donated to the AMC France-Ukraine association. The opportunity to meet many personalities on stage or at cocktail parties, such as actresses Valérie Karsenti and Sylvie Testud.
The evening brought together a prestigious cast of guests on Tuesday to applaud or get on the stage for the benefit of a good cause. It’s Valérie Karsenti, known for her iconic role in Scenes of households, who stood out in a lovely black blouse, jeans and gorgeous lipstick. Very smart, she was accompanied by her lover, the charming Francois Feroleto, in a gray shirt. The couple caused a sensation. Valérie Karsenti was also photographed with the no less beautiful and talented Sylvie Testud, who appeared in a white t-shirt.
On stage, an impressive list of renowned artists made the show. Among which Raphaël Personnaz, Éric Elmosnino, Valérie Bonneton, Gilles Gaston-Dreyfus, Emilie Caen, François-Xavier Demaison and André Manoukian on music. All transmitted their good humor and their communicative joy during this evening of humor and poetry (see slideshow).
The evening was an opportunity to rediscover the hilarious and surprising humor of Stéphane de Groodt, comedian-actor who studied at the Canal+ school and was long compared to Raymond Devos and Pierre Desproges. We particularly remember his puns, his poetic flashes and his light humor in the show The supplement where he recounted his encounters with famous people. His texts and pastiches of the time were reread during the evening yesterday in the company of his partners on stage. The staging was provided by Éric Théobald.
