Performances

Adapted from Fabcaro’s comic, “Zaï zaï zaï zaï” is a live radio play that is both witty and sharp. It tells the story of a man who becomes public enemy number one after forgetting his loyalty card at the supermarket. This performance cleverly examines collective behavior, security overreach, and media influence, blending social satire with light-heartedness to invite laughter and thought. Presented by Théâtre de l’Argument, it features inventive direction by Paul Moulin and precise sound design by Christophe Danvin, with a diverse cast including the voice talent of Serge Biavan.
