“On Purge Bébé!” (Baby’s Laxative) inspired by the famous vaudeville of Georges Feydeau, is the mischievous farewell of the composer Philippe Boesmans (1936-2022).
Just as Monsieur Follavoine is about to present his “unbreakable” chamber pots to the French army, Madame Follavoine arrives unexpectedly with the constipation problems of Toto, their tyrannical son. It’s the start of a delirious day from which neither chamber pots nor petty-bourgeois appearances escape. An end-of-year family comedy, as acerbic as it is deliciously virtuoso.
