Fabrice Luchini: "The classical French language, I feel like I'm in a straitjacket that would constrain my excesses"

Fabrice Luchini, a unique actor, passionately performs works by Victor Hugo, Emil Cioran, and Charles Baudelaire, blending humor and tragedy. His theatrical journey began in 1985 when Jean-Louis Barrault invited him to read at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, leading to a twenty-year adventure that took him worldwide. Luchini's deep admiration for literature drives his performances, where he reveres the author above all.
