Press coverage

TÉLÉRAMA “Geoffrey Callènes’ fine direction and intense performance.”

LE PARISIEN “A tour de force, a voyage at sea, a shipwreck (…) In the face of such a well-painted, vibrant picture of horror, you are left breathless (…) quite a dose of talent.”

OUEST FRANCE “The performance by Geoffrey Callènes, who brings to life the moments he has helped to put into words, is gripping. The one-man show was a real challenge, and the actor’s liveliness wins you over.”

FROGGY’S DELIGHT “Remarkably written and just as remarkably acted and directed, this evocation is a total immersion for the spectator in the turbulent waters of an ocean where sharks lie in wait for their prey.”

SINGULARS “magnificently carried by the voice and body of Geoffrey Callènes”

REG’ARTS “Geoffrey Callènes is hypnotic, hallucinating”
