Léandre: Stand-Up

Performed by Léandre and co-written with Samuel Certenais, this stand-up confronts alopecia and the erosion of self-esteem with sharp, candid humor. The show transforms physical difference into a narrative engine, blending intimate confession, observational comedy and theatrical timing. Léandre mines vulnerability to craft jokes that pivot between tenderness and bold absurdity, inviting reflection as much as laughter. Sparse staging and precise delivery heighten the emotional clarity of the material.

Set during a bitter winter in 1980s Turkey amid a military coup, Kar Korsanlari (Snow Pirates) follows three boys who scavenge for coal to survive the cold. With intimate, observational imagery and restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film contrasts the harsh authority of soldiers with the fragile, playful solidarity of childhood. A quietly political and poetic debut, it exposes the mechanisms of repression while celebrating youthful resilience and small acts of compassion.
