On December 27, 2023, on her Instagram page, Laurène Marx, 36 years old, actress and playwright, “non-binary trans woman”as it defines itself, post a message of the company Je t’accares, which she created with director Fanny Sintès. The day before appeared in Le Figaro a support forum entitled “Don’t erase Gérard Depardieu” and their blood only boiled. In their message, the two women announce that they have been invited to play in Châteauvallon (Var), in “the theater of Charles Berling, signatory of this filthy platform”they won’t go. “In solidarity with the victims and the kids who go horse riding. (…) Just know that we will come for you and we can’t wait for you to disappear and be forgotten. (…) We will be there to applaud when you fall. See you soon. »
Charles Berling still hasn’t recovered: “ Two weeks ago, I had a good reputation, and now there are people who want me dead. You are progressive and, suddenly, you move into the camp of the reactionaries. » The actor and theater director, left before the Eternal, quickly backtracked when he saw, but a little late, that what he thought was a simple rant against the debunking of works and he artists who brought joy to the culture of yesterday and the bedrock of that of today had, in fact, been launched by an actor interacting with the spheres of identity, then taken over by the right. He agrees: “Signing was a mistake. I was naive, I didn’t see it coming. The conviction was immediate and without appeal. We live in a strange atmosphere. We are on one side or the other, there is no in-between, people refuse to talk, Charles Berling despairs. I would like to talk, let us talk. I come from a Mediterranean family, what could we have argued about, but there, no. Cancel culture, I can no longer stand… And there, I find myself with: “Erase Berling.” »

Clem (12 seasons on TF1).
