En addicto

A man enters the stage to carry the voices of some thirty characters, patients and doctors met during a six-month residency in the addictology department of a hospital in the Paris region. He listened to those who come for treatment and those who treat them. From these unfolded words, Thomas Quillardet conceives and performs a polyphonic one-man show in which the intimate rhythms of all these voices mingle.
With sensitivity and delicacy, he recounts the long and difficult journey of withdrawal, punctuated by hopes and moments of doubt, as an exercise in regaining confidence and starting afresh.

Without artifice, but with emotion and humor, he attempts to answer the dizzying question: How does one ease one's pain?
