Theatre – TOUCHÉE PAR LES FÉES – Ultima Verba

16 Apr

Centre culturel L'Échiquier, 14 La Fournière, 85700 Pouzauges

The L’ÉCHIQUIER Cultural Centre embraces a wide range of artistic and cultural expressions. During the 2026–2027 season, let’s make way for the joy of rediscovery and experimentation.

Ariane Ascaride is so much more than the widely recognised actress she has become. She is a woman who embodies the values of femininity, the voice of freedom and women’s emancipation, just as much as Gisèle Halimi, whom she portrayed so skilfully. But none of this came about without struggles, battles, suffering or acts of defiance. Ariane has forged the armour that has protected her throughout her life. Marked by the pain and blows she has endured during her struggles, she has always remained attentive and kind towards others. *Touched by the Fairies* (Fada in the southern dialect) is the story of her years of struggle and intense joy, written by Marie Desplechin and directed by Thierry Thieû Niang, without whom this painful cry of love would have remained buried deep within her being. Here, Ariane opens up, telling her story with sincerity, humanity, courage and modesty, without ever complaining, and brushes aside the hardest moments of her life with a hearty laugh. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
