Je m'appelle Erik Satie comme tout le monde revives at Funambule Montmatre

After Charles Péguy (in Charles Péguy le visionnaire) and Anna Karenine, Laetitia Gonzalbes tackles a new cultural figure: Erik Satie. Je m'appelle Erik Satie comme tout le monde, runs at Le Funambule Montmartre from November 20, 2024 to February 2, 2025.

Erik Satie was an extraordinary composer. A virtuoso avant-gardist, he composed music that is still played the world over, such as the famous Gymnopédies and the Gnossiennes. A free man, he turned his life into a novel, with humor and lightness, and was a friend of the great artists of his time, such as Debussy, Cocteau, Picasso and Ravel, to name but a few.

In Je m'appelle Erik Satie comme tout le monde, Laetitia Gonzalbes recounts and stages the life of this original man, through a fictional account that is full of irony, surprises, music and aesthetics... just like the composer himself!

The lead role is played by Elliot Jenicot, a former resident of the Comédie Française, who forms a highly successful duo with young actress Anaïs Yazit .
