HUMOR. Florence and the boys
“Boys Boys Boys” at 9 p.m., on Canal +.
The title set the tone. In her new one-woman show “Boys Boys Boys”, Florence Foresti was inevitably going to talk to us about men in her own way. Uninhibited. Tender and daring. Contract fulfilled. She is 50, an age she repeats throughout the show. As if to better observe from the top of this new promontory the themes that she has explored throughout her career. Gender relations, complexes, motherhood. There we find all the ingredients that make Foresti the most striking comedian of the last 20 years, this energetic mixture of self-deprecation and sifted zeitgeist.
Spicy when it comes to describing the excesses of neo-feminism, she enjoys taking a few counter-stances. Like when she hijacks Diane Tell's song to sum up her flirtatious side: "If I were a man I wouldn't be captain, I'd be in prison!" » “The War of the Sexes”, which some would like to replay at the moment? “Unbalanced,” says the comedian, who has been well aware since childhood that there is only one strong sex, obviously female.
