Director Christine Delmotte brings Monsieur Optimiste back to the stage with unfailing loyalty to the original novel by Alain Berenboom (which won the Rossel prize in 2013). The story of a son who decides to sort out the family records when his parents die. Infused with the author’s humour, the show brings a welcome light touch to a complex and dark story which constantly displaces worry with joyful irony.
