The Promise of Dawn

“With maternal love, life makes you a promise at dawn that it never keeps. You are then forced to eat cold until the end of your days.”

• In the magnificent book “The Promise of Dawn” Romain Gary tells of his youth, his uprooting, his relationship with his mother who raised him alone and the dream of greatness she had for him.
• Throughout his life, Romain Gary never stopped trying to live up to this dream…
• Moving from the mother suffocating with love to the mischievous cleaning lady, from the great De Gaulle to a gallery of young Parisians who are going through the terrible war, Franck Desmedt, alone on stage, retraces with virtuosity the itinerary of one of the most mysterious authors of French literature, the only one to have won the Prix Goncourt twice.

• Repeat of last year’s success
