Based on the literary account by Cédric Sapin-Defour , Son odeur après la pluie explores a singular, universal love story: that between a man and his dog. A bond of rare, unbreakable intensity, made up of companionship, silence, laughter and shared landscapes. The hero of this play has no body, no voice; he is this invisible and essential presence, this mute attachment that crosses everyday life and memory.

The text, brought to the stage by Véronique Boutonnet, follows a rhythm that is both poetic and organic. The story unfolds like an emotional, almost musical journey, oscillating between memories and sensations. It conjures up the elements - earth, snow, wind, clouds - and the simple moments of life: walks, games, sorrows and wonders. Through this evocation of absence and tenderness, the piece stands out as a meditation on finitude, presence and the beauty of connection.
The show, which lasts 1h15, is performed Wednesday to Saturday at 9pm and Sunday at 5pm. It is aimed at audiences who appreciate the poetry of everyday life, contemplative narratives and stories where the power of emotion is born of simplicity. Audiences in search of a classic narrative or linear plot may find themselves less interested in this type of proposal, which is in a resolutely sensory and introspective vein.
Son odeur après la pluie is an original creation presented for the first time at Le Lucernaire, at the crossroads of theater, literature and intimate experience.
