Potiche, but not totally jug!
Suzanne Pujol is the very bourgeois and very discreet woman of a rich industrialist, to say the least detestable.. While her reactionary husband fights against the labor inspectorate and the unions, her only occupation is her roses, her jogging, her embroidery, her poems, her good works, or even the parade of majorettes that she organize every year. For everyone, she is a “potiche”. But now a second chance is offered to this wife so withdrawn. The despotic boss Pujol hit one of his workers and found himself forced to go on “convalescence”. It is Suzanne who is therefore obliged to take over the factory. A new woman is born!
From surprises to twists!
Created in 1980 at the Théâtre Antoine with Jacqueline Maillan, “Potiche” tackled, before the hour, very current subjects such as the seizure of power by women or the revolt of the yellow vests. The play was broadcast on the famous program “Au théâtre ce soir” in 1983. Then came the film in 2010 directed by François Ozon with Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu and Fabrice Luchini. A pure vaudeville removed and full of twists and unforeseen situations. At Theater des Salinières, rue Buhan in Bordeaux. Until January 29, 2022. Full price: € 24. Directed by Alexis Plaire.
