Elie Semoun - Cactus - Tournée

You don't need to look far to understand the tone of CACTUS! By giving this name to his new show, Elie Semoun sets the tone: it's going to sting! For 30 years, the comedian has established himself as one of the most incisive and delightfully quirky humorists on the French scene.

His style, which blends subtlety and audacity, has inspired many generations of artists. For his eighth show, Elie Semoun makes a slight shift: stand-up now occupies a more significant place, a novelty for him. But make no mistake, CACTUS remains true to his taste for characters.

Among the gallery of his new monsters, you will meet Jean Abdul, who will perform his opening act, a son taking his father to visit a nursing home, Xavier the physically disabled man introducing his wife to his mother, a father confronted with his son's transition, a racist karate teacher, or a biting look at sexual harassment and religion.

With CACTUS, Elie Semoun offers us a vision of our society that is both profound and light, between violence and inspiration, where themes of intolerance, taboo, and injustice are tackled head-on, but always with that incisive touch that characterises him.
