Actu : Dans ce nouveau spectacle, vous évoquez la perte d’un être proche, votre père.Yvelines. Virginie Hocq ressort les vieux souvenirs aux Mureaux : « J'adore être spectatrice de ce que je vis » Yvelines. Virginie Hocq ressort les vieux souvenirs aux Mureaux : « J'adore être spectatrice de ce que je vis »

Virginie Hocq: Yes but it is not a tribute to my father because I do not do therapy on stage.I'm talking about the ties we all have in life and then there is a time when we lose a loved one.The initial postulate is to say that births are organized but departures, we silence them.We dare not talk about it.I decided to do something funny.After my father's death, I have to empty all the rooms in his apartment.And in the show, by collecting memories, I see the public who exclaims.We all had the same memories, be it vinyls that our parents listened to, old pots, old instruments.It’s a pretext to remember.

Did you really have to empty your father's apartment?

V.H.: No, but these are things that can happen to everyone.I don't invent anything.I heard what my friends said.The unimportant old souples that we used on Sunday, when you have to get rid of them, we finally say that we love them.We cling to old shady, things that suddenly become hyperimotor memories.

Talking about the death of your father is you bringing you even closer to the public?

V.H.: I love finding subjects that we all have in common, I want it to speak to the greatest number.When I talk about the risk of losing a parent, I don't invent anything at all, it's the truth.Besides, I am not saying in the show that my father died, I say that he slipped because there are words for which we are not able to laugh when frankly, there would be a way.Death, we don't want to talk about it because it is so much more pleasant to have the impression of mastering things until the end.I did not put the final point in my father's life but three small points to be able to continue to talk about it.At my father's burial, the "sincere condolences" have become "joyful cooked to all".We distributed two or three beers and it became a great party.

In the end, you can make it funny!

V.H.: But yes !The show is called Virginie Hocq or almost because if we assemble the first two letters of my first name and name, it gives Vioc or almost.This spectacle also talks about age.I say that I would never age, that it is a question of will and as I have a lot...But I realize that it is irremediable.We can be fooled for a time...But not very long!

Do you feel like you are aging?

Yvelines. Virginie Hocq ressort les vieux souvenirs aux Mureaux : « J'adore être spectatrice de ce que je vis »

V.H.: What I say in the show is that we don't get older.It is our children who make us age, adolescents with their certainties.We also realize that our parents are not eternal.They were first of all our impediments to go around in circles and then we find ourselves on the same foot.Life is very interesting.

How do you find the themes of your shows?

V.H.: I look at a lot what's going on around me, it allows me to create characters.I love being a spectator of what I live to be able to keep something that I am going to model, which will become a story.I have this ability to get from it from self -mockery.In this show, I wanted people to be in front of objects, moving, lively, real things, that there is magic.I dared to put all my preferences in the artistic world there, whether it is the only one on stage, the almost alone on stage, improvisation, stand-up.Everything I could glean as I meet.

In your shows, the use of your body is always something to which you attach a lot of importance.

V.H.: I did the conservatory and as I am very curious, I also worked the mime, the clown...I can get so many things with this body, manhandle it, multiply it at leisure for the happiness of spectators.

What do you think your fans like you?

V.H.: I think they like the empathetic side, good girlfriend.I am quite close to the public, I address him.When I don't care about me, it makes people laugh.But I never point someone with the audience by making fun.I do not live in a world of sequins, I have very simple values that look like those of everyone.I come from a country where we learn to walk on eggs.We have two different cultures: Flemish and French -speaking.We are a small country and it is a great chance to be able to export and to show the greatest number his work.I may be earth on earth but I realize that I do not know what will be done tomorrow.We felt it so well during the health crisis.Fortunately, that I did not have the madness of quantities, maybe I could have hurt myself very.I see that our situation is precarious, that our work is precarious...

"I am a cat, I can always fall back on my legs"

In your shows, the public always has a very important role.

V.H.: The performing arts must be alive on stage and living in the room.I inword people, I am interested in them.When I empty the apartment, I tell them if things interest you, go ahead.People leave with dishes, cutlery, it's great, it becomes terribly human!I give up to all emotions.

Do you have a spectacle anecdotes that come back to you?

V.H.: One day in Roissy, in a family of four, two were very sick because they had eaten pumpkin soup.The lady wanted to vomit.Instead of panicking and pretending it was, I accompanied it to the exit.People were reassured because there is a stressful side to see someone sick.Everything happened as if it was a sketch.It has happened to me that all the light is cutting and that I am forced to play in the dark for 15 minutes.People say to themselves: "It's still rare a spectacle without light".I continued and that's what's great.I take everything that can happen.If someone is late, it doesn't matter.No aggression happens to everyone.I get rid of the coats, I welcome them and it relieves everyone not to be embarrassed.Everything is fine and it feels good to laugh!I am a real cat and I always manage to fall back on my legs.I know my show so well in all directions because we worked it well with the director Johanna Boyer that my foundations are very good.I know how the start, the middle, the end...Everything is so clear that I can allow myself to change course and come back.

You already have a great career behind you.What are your dreams for the future?

V.H.: I love to learn, work with people or directors who have ideas, play characters who seem close to me or who are the opposite.I love trying costumes that are not my size, it's so nice!This is why I chose this job, it is to be able to interpret endlessly and try other lives than mine.

Is there one or more characters you preferred to interpret?

V.H.: In my very first show, there is a child with Down's syndrome called Frankie.And there are also two madeleine.The one in the film do you, do you Saint-Tropez with Benoit Poelvoorde and Christian Clavier.She is a very rich woman from the 70s who has a lot of character.More recently, I loved Madeleine Villardier that I interpreted with Pierre Palmade.Again, he is a colorful character, exuberant.I love these characters.When I am compared to actresses like Maria Pacôme or Jacqueline Maillan, I like it.I love lost, hard, full of pain.I find it interesting to go all the way.

Do you feel like you have become a darling of the French public?

V.H.: No because I doubt all the time of myself.I always have the impression of being a beginner.It is sometimes a quality and also a big painful defect.I feel like I don't always be in my place.Sometimes you might think I'm a little cold but it's just that I dare not say hello to people.I tell myself that they may not know me.I would like to be relaxed, serene.Younger, I did not dream of being known, just to be able to play.I didn't imagine playing one day in Paris.Besides, every time I take Thalys, I say to myself: "It's not true!»».

What can you wish for the future?

V.H.: You can touch wood for me and wish me to dare the things I have never done and above all, to stop doubting me every three minutes.
