When Grégoire Furrer, director of the Montreux Comedy Festival, discovered Bérengère Krief’s Amour show in February, the idea came to offer the young woman to organize its premiere for the 2022 edition. “I immediately agreed! Montreux and I are a love story because I started there in 2012. It’s a kind of blessing”, gives confidence. The comedian, who practiced hoops in the air in his show, quite logically wanted to place his premiere under the circus sign with the help of his director, Nicolas Vital:This universe fits perfectly with the idea of doing an extension of my show with an entire group of friends.” And good friends, he has a lot, Bérengère! Baptiste Lecaplain, Laura Felpin, Cédric Salaun, Monsieur Poulpe, Tristan Lopin, Alexandre Kominek, Les Coquettes… they all accepted the invitation. “Is it Berenger? I’ve known him for fifteen years! We started in Paris cafe-theatre Pranzo, which also serves as a pizzeria together!Arnaud Tsamère in the role of mime and “red thread” of the gala is delicious and funny!
ORIGINAL DRAWINGS
Bérengère Krief rehearses with Kyan Khojandi a few hours before going on stage. Concentration is key, and the fifteen busy around the couple suggest an outstanding show. “Almost all of us have dreamed of new sketches.“Blows to the creator of the Bref series. For him, Cerceaux de l’engagement, Monsieur Poulpe’s Knife Thrower, and Laura Felpin and his assistant Cédric Salaun will be a huge number for crazy mentalists!
AMAZING ACROBATS
“We unconsciously formed a community, and the atmosphere was really great, says Bérengère. Of course I wanted to invite comedians, but also artists from different backgrounds like Mika and Aurélien, acrobats (the numbers are breathtaking!, editor’s note), Caroline practicing the Cyr wheel, or the drag queens in Madame Arthur. Come from the world of cabaret! Bringing all these people together has been enriching for all of us.“For this reason, the first premiere of Bérengère Krief ended in front of a conquered room and did not leave its organizer with a little taste of excess:”It was a nice brace, like we’ve all been to summer camp!“What if we had to do it again?”I resign directly, Bérengère explains. Also, I said to myself, let’s do a tour afterwards because it’s kind of sad to leave everything behind. We worked so hard and had such a good time together that this idea could germinate in my head like a seed!“
