8 Nights a Week

This summer, for one evening, Vincent Dedienne and Camille Chamoux, two essential figures of stage and cinema, will pause at Fort Antoine. There they will share with sincerity their doubts, their vulnerabilities, and their deep attachment to others, through confidences that are both intimate and generous. A musical reading that proves to be a true gem, blending refinement, humour and genuine artistic complicity.

Camille Chamoux and Vincent Dedienne met on the set of The Flame by Jonathan Cohen and have not parted since. While they are each filming their respective solo shows, they realise they will both be touring in western France and will have 8 dates in 7 days.

They then decide to begin a daily correspondence about this intense experience as solo performers, in which their melancholy, also a source of their humour, is shared and offers a true photograph of today's decentralised theatre landscape.

To accompany this exchange, Vincent Dedienne invited a friend, singer and actress, Léopoldine HH, to join them to sing songs by Anne Sylvestre and provide musical accompaniment to the reading.
