Josiane, a new play by successful playwright Pierre Guillois, arrives in Paris on December 3, 2024. Playing at the Théâtre de la Pépinière, the play tells the story of a 71-year-old woman who runs away from home in a caravan in the Camargue...

If you've seen Bigre or Les Gros Patinent bien, you won't be surprised if we tell you that Pierre Guillois 's new play sounds completely mad! Josiane opens at the Théâtre de la Pépinière on December 3, 2024, and promises to be another theatrical extravaganza!

On a whim, 71-year-old Josiane left her native Auvergne and moved into an isolated caravan in the heart of the Camargue. Meanwhile, her elderly and deeply worried parents send her long messages from their small house in the Allier region... But Josiane remains silent. The caravan, immobile in the middle of the wet landscape, seems to be the last refuge in a region where the pink flamingos are gradually deserting. But could Josiane be the unwitting cause of this change? Pierre Guillois is getting ready to unveil his new farce!

With an original and often offbeat style, Pierre Guillois is best known for his creations blending visual theater and burlesque, including Bigre, a wordless comedy that won a Molière in 2017. His unique style combines absurdist humor and poetry, offering shows that are accessible yet artistically audacious. Josiane, his latest play recommended for ages 14 and up, takes you on a Camargue fable from December 3, 2024.
