For his part, the theater management wanted to be reassuringspecifying that Évelyne Bouix’s husband was the victim of a “tiredness“and that he should, if his state of health allows him, return to the stage this Saturday, December 9 while two performances are planned, one at 4:30 p.m. then one at 8 p.m. “The theater management tells us that he will return to the stage tomorrow (…) But the accumulation of these discomforts worries“, notes Candice Mahout, head of the culture department of BFMTV, this Friday, December 8. And our colleague adds: “The question is will it be possible for Pierre Arditi to recover? If he gets tired, maybe he needs a little rest..” If we are to believe the actor’s entourage, this discomfort would be “less severe” than the first.

Pierre Arditi forced to rest: this project that he must put on hold
After having done vagal discomfort during a theatrical performance of his room Rabbit on September 27, Pierre Arditi tried to get back on stage very quickly, from October 4, to perform his performances. But the actor then had overestimated his rapid convalescence and was obliged, just a few days later, to take a real break for several weeks. Since then, according to the actor himself, invited on the set of C to you to defend his interpretation of Georges Clémenceau in the TV film Clémenceau, the strength to loverecently broadcast on France 2, the actor is revitalized but decided to take it easy. A decision that he explained to our colleagues at Parisian.
“I had investigated too many things and, with Covid, many projects had piled up, which then had to be carried out simultaneously. […] I’m no longer a partridge of the year, I had a hard time getting that into my head. I’m going to take it easy“, he confided. And this “soft pedal” should also not take long to apply since the actor has already postponed a project that is well underway: “I’m playing ‘Rabbit’ until the end of January, and then I had to play a play with Ludmila Mikaël, which will be postponed for several months. I’m going to rest, I’m writing. On life, mine in particular“, he indicated. Unstoppable, Pierre Arditi will therefore start writing to slow downbut should neither put pressure on yourself nor tire yourself too much.
