On a specific text and a furbing staging, mixing humor and gravity, this One-Woman-show keeps all its relevance.

When Noémie de Lattre played for the first time feminist for man, in November 2017, never could this actress could have imagined that this show would register as much in the news. It’s a little bit to say that this One-Woman-show has kept all his relevance, even five years after his creation.
Feminist, Noémie de Lattre has always been, by his plays (women liberated, in 2014), his ancient chronicles on France Inter and his books an on two man is a woman (Flammarion, 2016) and newspaper . The story of my heart and my ass (Albin Michel, 320 pages, 18.90 euros). “Revolved” by the speech of some girls from his entourage who consider that being feminist is “to be against men and against femininity”, she chose to put the humor (she manie very well) to the service of this subject who holds him at heart.
Noemie de Lattre does not seek to give lesson, simply to explain the feminism for the zero (the) s, to open avenues of reflection on the female status and the stereotypes whose feminists are reflected, this word that makes “Flee” some and some, that word that “scratches”, which “pique”, as she says very precisely. His text is precise, his staging, whispering.
Cabaret atmosphere
In a cabaret atmosphere, the actress, dressed in a pretty music-hall dancer strap, plays the glamor map and seduction, “proof that we can be feminine, feminist and shaved!” She says it without detour: “Tonight, we revolutionize feminism, we relax with this word, we dedragramatize, it is a humanism like any other.”
With energy, it attacks, pell-mell, to our vocabulary (this French language where “the masculine wins the feminine”), to the incongruity of persistence, at the XXI e century, one day of March 8 for the rights of women, with the female pleasure, of which everyone does not care (“because it is not necessary for reproduction”), to one-way insults (“What is the male version of” whore “and” bitch’s son “?”), at the mental charge of the mothers, in the hard place of the woman in the public space against the “big heavy” …
Noemie of Lattre loves men, wrote all his show by thinking of them, and believes in the emergence of a “kind of appearance: the feminist man”. Far from opposing the sexes, she considers that “we have everything to gain hand in hand”.
Enjoyed turn or tormented, mixing humor and gravity, confession and explanation, the actress likes to punctuate his only inception by sensual dances, burlesque moments and other emotion. In the picture of this final, in which she hammes: “I must not forget” all these countries around the world where the rights and freedom of women are violated.
