You are about to discover a tradition of the Double Fond: for many years, all our "event" shows were followed by an informal discussion with the artists. After the curtain fell, the artists would return to the stage to share a simple moment of exchange with the audience. It was a much appreciated moment, which gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions, to glean some professional advice, to learn more about any subject... That's also the magic of the Double Fond! In this case, this discussion took place in 2004 after the show "Intimiste 1" with Dominique Duvivier. After the show, Alexandra had joined her father for this moment of exchange with the audience. Unfortunately the quality of the sound is not good, but the subjects discussed are fascinating. Enjoy the show!  

In 30 years, more than 80 shows have been created at the Double Fond and nearly 400,000 spectators have come to this tiny venue. Here you can discover excerpts from one of Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier's shows, filmed in 2004, when our theater celebrated its 16th anniversary. Sweet memories that these moments shared all together to build, little by little, a legendary duo! In this video, you will have the chance to see (or see again) Dominique Duvivier's famous homage to Michel Polnareff and one of the most famous two-handed acts of the Duvivier duo: Naomi
