VILLAGES EN SCÈNE : Ma distinction – Wally

On stage, Lilian Derruau links his experiences as a “working-class kid” to the ideas of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Not content with recounting memories of his early childhood, he depicts the working-class France of the 1970s in a text where wit and self-mockery go hand in hand. Known as Wally* and for a long time classed as a “TV singer with a funny side”, we find him here in a completely different register: the sociological narrative. But in his own way, by eliciting laughter, with a touch of poetry and a whole lot of emotion. With tenderness and modesty, a smile in the corner of his eye, Wally recalls his journey, marked by a carefree attitude, and then by the realisation that he was born into a certain kind of social predestination from which it is very difficult to escape. *It was with him that the Villages en Scène cultural adventure began, as he was the very first artist to be programmed by VeS in 2001!
