Mandatory reservation Benjamin Tholozan grew up in a village in the south of France, the birthplace of Alphonse Daudet. A Provençal land, Latin, violent, truculent. A land of bullfights. Trivial and sacred are constantly intertwined. All his family still live there, and they all speak with a Midi accent.
Except for him. Impossible to detect in his phrasing the slightest southern intonation, the slightest word inherited from the Roman patois of his ancestors. To become an actor, he erased his accent.
He speaks pointu. In other words, with the accent of power. Parler pointu is an expression used by southerners to refer to the Parisian accent, which is actually the normative French spoken in the media and on stage. Parler Pointu tells the story of the gradual abandonment of regional languages and accents, and the intimate and political implications of this loss. In this historical and family epic,
Benjamin Tholozan plays the characters who made French and the Tourangeau accent the only languages that are still legitimate today, with passion, joy and precision.
