Jackie Star

A slightly delirious female clown gives a conference on elegance and beauty that turns sour.

After an airline crash, Jackie Star, a former air force hostess, becomes a conference speaker. An orator after the fashion of Mme de Fontenay, wearing a pink pillbox hat, dressed in a suit and with a stiff posture, thus presents a pseudo-conference on elegance and beauty, the two keywords for young women in the 21st century.

 

Emulating the Baroness Rothschild, bilingual in her manners and education, the professional very quickly finds herself out of her depth! The varnish of good manners cracks and the elegant lady is transformed into a sharp-tongued, temperamental shrew.

 

She switches from laughter to madness and her double. A perfect hostess, a fallen tragedian, a dishevelled prima donna, she fears nothing.

    A unique, genre-defying performance which casts the female body in a strange new light, using the techniques of clowning and circus arts to craft a deeply personal, resoundingly theatrical piece.

    A woman takes the stage. In every area of her mundane life (at work, in private) her attempts to stick to the plan are hampered by her unavoidable clumsiness.
