Lisa Perrio

In this one-woman show co-written with Florian Nardone, Lisa brings to life the characters she encounters throughout her day: Kim, the misogynistic and misandrist artistic director; Marc, the gynaecologist frustrated at not pursuing his passion for theatre; Candice, the sports coach who only exists through the male gaze… Through them, Lisa pokes fun at our absurdities, our contradictions, and our awkwardness.

Driven by a communicative energy, the show strings together situations that are as awkward as they are relatable. Lisa’s perspective observes our flaws with bite and tenderness, always accompanied by a disarming smile that invites complicity.

Touch by touch, in the manner of an impressionist, within this gallery of characters, a more intimate story also emerges: that of waiting for an absent father.

C’est compliqué, je t’expliquerai is a brilliantly written show, populated by endearing characters, which reveals a unique artist capable of shaking up everyday life to better bring forth laughter.
