‘BONSOIR’: it is with these words that Frédéric Mitterand greeted his viewers when he began his TV programs. It is an ordinary word, but the intonation one uses can turn it into a signature.

​

Frédéric Mitterand, alone on the stage for the first time, offers the audience a reading from some of his own texts, namely La Mauvaise Vie, a fictional autobiography published in 2005, Le Festival de Cannes (2007), Une Adolescence (2015) and My remorses are regrets (2016).
