Actors often have a book in their pockets, a text that has been accompanying their peregrinations for a long time. The Singulis programme provides an opportunity to discover these readings in a rare discipline for the actors of the Troupe: performing alone on stage.

“I remain convinced that a journalist is not a choirboy and that his role is not to walk in front of processions, dipping his hand into a basket of rose petals. Our profession is not to please, nor to do harm. It is to dip the pen in the wound.” Albert Londres’ integrity has become an emblem of the journalistic profession. In 1924, between 22 June and 20July, he was covering the Tour de France cycling race. He brought a fresh eye, and his astonishment was total.

Nicolas Lormeau lends his voice to his reports and to the 150 or so men riding “like dynamite” on bicycles without gears and on roads that were not really roads. From mountain stages, where the cyclists all risked their lives in descents, to stages on the flat where flint ripped their thighs and dust burned their skin and eyes, the actor identifies himself with the great reporter and embodies this literary monument, a chronicle from another time.
