He had a doubt, a cardiac doubt. He got an appointment with a shinegrapher. Tuesday 14.30! Okay. He was given a radioactive liquid to drink. He drank it and a few hours later, he saw his heart on a screen. His heart was sparkling. At first, he was worried by all those sparks around his heart, but the doctor reassured him: “everything’s fine,” he said, “your heart shines, that’s good!” With his heart full of sparks and poetic and comical comets, the jack-of-all-trades Jacques Gamblin uses again surrealistic writing to create his new show and to describe his own world… A world close to childhood, full of burlesque emotions, freed from syntax and reuniting incongruous characters such as a Normand cow, five times winner at the Agriculture Salon, trying to communicate with a bull that got the wrong box thanks to her cowpats’ smokes, or a giraffe who accidentally made a knot in her neck, or a speck of dust communicating with a hair… Jacques Gamblin offers all the dazzling joys of poetic enchantment… Just as if Space Mountain had arrived in the Maison de la Culture…
“Jacques Gamblin is only lightness and freedom. He’s just grace and energy. He’s got the nervous flowing of athletes. His show is an enchantment of humour, deep emotion and laughs to tears, because there are in him ingredients of sadness that yet don’t forbid joy… We’d like to stay with him longer.” Armelle Héliot - Le Figaro
