Description

By Éric Feldman. Nominated for the 2026 Molière Awards in the One-Person Show category.
What if Freud had been Hitler’s therapist? Could absolute evil have been prevented? Through a mix of laughter and personal revelations, Éric Feldman explores the history of his own family, survivors of the Holocaust. On stage, we meet Milosh the cat, along with the delightful Uncle Lucien and Aunt Sarah. The whole performance is laced with Yiddish accents and the spirit of New York’s Jewish comedians.  A work of autofiction that transcends his personal story, touches people’s hearts, and—despite the gravity of the testimony—celebrates the fragility and miracle of being alive. “A funny title for a funny show. Tragic and comic, part stand-up, part philosophy and history lesson, a treasure trove of literary writing and jokes. The highly unique and fascinating writer-performer Éric Feldman (…) the mix is intense and dazzling. (…) a very rare show. ” - Télérama Direction and collaboration on the dramaturgy: Olivier Veillon.
