Muriel Robin at the Gare du Midi

Culture · Comedy · Gare du Midi

Forty years on stage, and a place apart in French comedy. Muriel Robin passes through Biarritz on 17 December, in the final stretch before the holidays.

Muriel Robin belongs to the generation that shifted the French one-woman show towards something more written and more inhabited. Her best-known sketches have entered collective memory, which is both a privilege and a burden: the audience expects, and expects a great deal.

A career that never sat still

Between theatre, television and the stage, she has spent forty years refusing to settle into a single register. Which means you never quite know what you are buying a ticket for — and that is rather good news.

The local tip

Mid-December at the Gare du Midi is when dates stack up and seats go well in advance. With a name of this standing, do not count on the last minute. Times and prices to be confirmed with the box office.

Forty years on stage, and still no fixed label.
