Exceptional revival of the iconic solo performance at the Grenier de Toulouse.
Pierre Matras plays alone on stage, the 10-year-old child, in a set, a hospital room with fake proportions, which gives him the format of the child.
"I asked Lucie Muratet to accompany me on this adventure by directing me. I needed a feminine gaze, her gentleness to make this show" he shares.

Oscar is staying at the children's hospital. He has fun there with his friends.
However, for a few days now, the adults have been behaving strangely. The doctors seem disappointed, his parents seem to want to cry all the time and no one answers his questions.
His meeting with grandma Rose, a former wrestler and volunteer at the hospital, will illuminate his destiny.
Grandma Rose proposes a game to him: to act as if each day now counts for ten years. She thus offers him a whole life in a few days. To get him to confide more, she also suggests that he write to God. It is in these letters that he will confide his anger, his joys, his first love, his fears, the passing of time, his path to serenity. A unique friendship is born between Oscar and grandma Rose.

It is impossible not to remember the words of the author himself, Eric Emmanuel Schmidt, who came to attend a performance in Avignon: "Pierre Matras does not 'play' the child, he 'is' the child. And he takes us into his humor and his humanity. Like all the spectators, it took me thirty seconds, in the dark, to recover and then I stood up to applaud. Tenderness in unison to respond to the tenderness that had irradiated the stage".

Warning, strong work!
