J ean Robert - Charrier and his passion for the theater is a story lived in urgency with intensity in a succession of revelations always frank and fast.
It all starts with a performance of Laurent Terzieff and a night dreaming about it when he returns to his cradle of Touraine. In the morning, he announces to his mother that he gives up the right for comedy. At the age of 19, he moved to Paris ready to conquer this world as visible as it was invisible behind the great red curtain.
Following in the footsteps of his idol, he enrolled in the course of Florent who accepts him immediately in second year, but the «starlet» quickly tires him. He wants to be a Terzieff forever and not a young first-timer. He then goes to another school where a comrade offers him the post of ripping tickets that he is about to leave at the Porte Saint-Martin theater.
He thus wins this first chair thanks to his advantageous physique and it is the revelation. He will then constantly become the conductor of this magical maze of backstage, machinery, lodges that live and vibrate to the rhythm of rehearsals and applause in ever changing sets.
The boards burn, he traces his destiny by proposing Jean-Claude Camus his project of reform of his private theater.
He works tirelessly, takes evening classes, management, human resource, nothing is left to chance to achieve his dream.
Very quickly he directs with the boiling energy of his youth this institution of the Porte Saint Martin, the biggest stage of Paris.
