History:
This podcast was made with a virtual voice.
Today, let's board my imaginary boat heading to a celebrity born in Rouen: Thomas Jolly.
Born in 1982, this Rouen native is an actor and director of theater and opera. He was also the artistic director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
But do you know these three unusual facts that dotted his life?
This gifted theater artist is nicknamed “the elf”. For what ? Because he resembles this little imaginary character from folk tales gifted with fantastic powers, with a light and lively grace, more teasing and mischievous than mean. This is exactly what we find in this dark, slender man with a mischievous smile.
Second unusual fact, during confinement, deprived of theater and stage, on the balcony of his apartment located in Angers, Thomas Jolly then recited, for 8 minutes, an extract from Romeo and Juliet. He repeated this exercise several evenings in a row to the point of transforming his balcony into a theater stage and his neighbors into spectators.
Third and final unusual fact. Thomas Jolly, awarded 3 Molière awards, holds a theatrical record: that of having performed a play for 24 hours in a row. Indeed, in 2022, he is directing the tetralogy of Henry VI and Richard III by William Shakespeare. And it is thanks to this play that he will achieve this record.
