Theater | Panic at the Ministry 2 – The Candidate

The cheerful cast of characters from *Panic at the Ministry* is back in action. And this time, they’re taking us on a journey into the race for the Élysée! Indeed, Cécile Bouquigny has risen through the ranks since the last installment: she is now the Minister of Youth and Sports! On a whim (and with just three months left in her term), she decides to run for president. By upsetting an already precarious balance, she will, once again, wreak havoc at the ministry… Boulevard theater has this rare virtue: it knows how to make us laugh while holding up a mirror to us—often scathing, sometimes tender, but always with a delightfully clear-eyed perspective. In a climate where politics dominates the media spotlight every day, what could be more delightful than diving back into this so deliciously orchestrated “panic” at the heart of government ministries? *Panic at the Ministry 2* remains a sure bet, a comedy with a formidable plot. Cast: Philippe Chevallier, Marie-Hélène Lentini, Jennifer Lauret, Charlotte Gouillon, Lucie Cottin, and Nathan Martin / Director: Guillaume Mélanie / Writers: Jean Franco and Guillaume Mélanie The cultural season is supported by the Haute-Savoie Departmental Council and Ici Pays de Savoie
