Every Tuesday and Wednesday, Florent Aumaître plays Le Horla de Maupassant on the stage of the Théâtre Michel: a slide towards madness that could not be more controlled!
With Le Horla, by Guy de Maupassant, we can say that the actor Florent Aumaître has found his text. He grabs it, he modulates it, he hums it or shouts it, always with an elegance of elocution, and a clarity that leaves one stunned by his mastery and finesse of understanding. Never has Maupassant seemed so fluid and intelligent as in the mouth of this young actor, alone on stage, who leaves speechless, short of breath, fingers clenched, as the chimera works him, and the night closes forever.
Here's the trailer for the Horla:
Tested for several years in the provinces, celebrated in Avignon, tested at Studio Hébertot, the play and its actors are currently at the ideal time when the incarnation is the strongest. With this sumptuous literary score, Florent Aumaître proves the breadth of his palette, and the extent of his nuances. The minimal staging of Slimane Kacioui prevents any distraction and plays on the lighting to illustrate the moral health of the hero of the plot. Lively, sparkling, like a sonata, Le Horla is played in just over an hour, the time needed for the trap to close on the hero of the piece, much applauded, and to whom we wish the success he deserves. Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 pm at Théâtre Michel 38 rue des Mathurins 75008 Paris Reservations Le Horla at the Théâtre Michel, with Florent Aumaïtre
