N°38 JULY / AUGUST 2003

 

As an actress, she has done everything. Making a living from her art sometimes means abdicating, playing Falbalas at the Parc Astérix, playing the loubardes, the clueless or the bourgeois in TV films alongside stars like Line Renaud or Claude Piéplu. Headliner or stooge, Sonia Codhant, 31, found her way in the company La vie est courte - a collective of "performing" artists. Today she is an administrator, singer, dancer and actress, playing the crucified messiah "off" and surrounded by naked men who wave a real "crown of thorns" on her forehead. Superb and pale blonde with the body of a Bimbo, she plays the cannibals, the suburban Rambo or the extraterrestrial children. She becomes a warrior in suspenders in an acidic satire of contemporary times, putting the world through the mill with a devastating sense of humour and unbridled anger. Sonia dares everything in Les Innocents, the latest show by the troublemaker David Noir. Among her fifteen or so equally remarkable comrades, she radiates audacity, freshness and a rare freedom.
