It is noon, and Mongicourt finds his friend, Dr Petypon, still asleep. In his bed lies, half-naked, a girl, the “môme crevette”, a Moulin Rouge dancer. Petypon can’t remember a thing… This “môme” is the central character of The Lady at Mawim’s, in which people are always at each other’s throats. The play is full of tall stories: husbands wishing to deceive their wives, devastating eroticism, ecstatic scandals and infringements of bourgeois and catholic morality. Always epic and joyful, Jean-François Sivadier’s theater targets a large audience. Just like his last shows – King Lear two years ago in Avignon, Danton or The Marriage of Figaro – The Lady at Maxim’s offers a space for epic play, lyricism and delightful language. Feydeau’s plays are fantastic machines of disorder. In The Lady at Maxim’s, the most rigid proprieties (such as those presiding a middle-class wedding in the country) and the most unrestrained behaviours (the ones leading to luxury and alcoholism) collide rudely but in an exhilarating way!

“Silvadier is having fun with his play. He’s got a talent for directing a cast; he likes theater directly addressing spectators. With him, actors play face to face with the audience, in the light and with all the energy they need to master the room.”
