Known for her humorous videos with an ecological and feminist tone, Swann Périssé returns to the stage with Calme, a stand-up show presented at the Trianon on May 12 and 13, 2025. Humorist, video artist and host of the talk-show Y'a plus de Saisons, this time she tackles a subject as personal as it is universal: anger. The woman who thought she would learn serenity as she grew older confides, with self-mockery, that she found the opposite to be true as she entered her thirties. Rather than repressing it, she uses it as the raw material for a show that is both intimate and political.

In this one-woman show, Swann Périssé evokes her own relationship with anger and the image it is given, especially when you're a woman. The show draws on her own experiences, as well as those of her friends and family and her audience, whom she has asked for their tips for dealing with fits of rage. Between laughter and gritty observations, Calme would deal with subjects as varied as consent, sexuality, ecology, social injunctions, haters on the Internet and emotional justice.

The show would target an audience accustomed to engaged humor, especially those who already follow Swann Périssé on his digital platforms. The themes addressed - female anger, mental burden, social pressures, sexuality - could resonate particularly with a young adult audience, feminist or looking for critical reflection on gender norms and contemporary issues. On the other hand, audiences who are less sensitive to this type of direct expression, or allergic to political stand-up, may not recognize themselves in this highly personal and frontal stage proposition.

With Calme, Swann Périssé proposes a hybrid show, somewhere between caustic humor and social introspection. It's a performance that not only makes people laugh, but also questions our relationship with indignation and energetically deconstructs stereotypes about so-called "feminine" emotions.
