They love each other yes or no, Palmade-Laroque considered the duo
Simon Guibert and Elodie KV Kawa will love each other “madly, not at all” on the theater stage.
Kawaii Theater. Montpellier actors Elodie KV and Simon Gibert revisit Pierre Palmade and Murielle Robin’s two great classics, They Love Each Other and They Loved Each Other in They Love Each Other Madly, Not At All. Kawa Theater. Adaptation allowed for all shots!
A way to remember that life as a couple is not one long calm river, neither is divorce, but always with humor. A delicious head-to-head reminiscent of the great duo of the era, Pierre Palmade and Michèle Laroque. The work created in 1996 was a great success. It followed two other plays that chronicled a couple’s travails of love, disappointment, and separation over a long period of time. Not forgetting the song “They love each other again” in 2012. That’s why we find Elodie KV on stage, who will perform at the Point-Comédie on December 6 for a stand-up called “Positive vagina revolution”. 21 hours.
> “They love each other madly, not at all”, at the Kawa theater, 18 rue Fouques, Thursday 8 and 15 December at 8.30 pm, Friday 2, 16, 23 and 30 December at 7 pm, 17 December at 9:00 pm: 00. Reservations at kawatheatre.com. From €15. The Positive Vagina Revolution by Elodie KV Point Comédie, 9 Rue Sainte-Ursule, December 6, 9pm, from €12.
