Être ou ne pas être

To be or not to be could be the story of a little boy who dreamed of becoming a professional footballer, or that of a teenager who has a father known in the world of theatre and who is trying to make his way in it.

Two passions born in childhood: football and theatre. In a masterful one-man show, William Mesguich recounts his childhood, adolescence, and adult life. He tells how an interrupted dream allowed another passion, already present within him, to flourish. In 2014, he played Hamlet in a production directed by Daniel Mesguich: this performance was a crowning achievement, a passing of the torch between father and son.

In this tender, funny, generous testimony, he recounts theatrical adventures that were sometimes ludicrous, but lived with passion, and above all his encounter with another William, Shakespeare.
