Valérie Fayolle takes us to the Renaissance Theatre, where François-Xavier Demaison takes us behind the scenes of "Laponie". The fiesty comedy shows how a family's holiday gathering can quickly turn into a settling of scores. "Theatre is one of our last collective experiences. It's magnificent, we're in a bubble," he tells us. Next, we head to Versailles, where François Morel pays tribute to Molière in "The School for Wives". "That's the beauty of great works like that and great classics. With every passing era they bring to light the concerns of the times," he notes. Finally, our coup de coeur of pick of the week is a best-selling novel that's now on stage: Laetitia Colombani's "The Braid". The novelist reveals the secret to a successful adaptation.
