When a fairy tale turns into a nightmare… With this second creation, young actor and director Eve Aouizerate takes on, with biting humour, the reactionary fantasies proliferating across social media.

In the middle of an auto-fictional performance, an actress steps on stage to announce the end of her career: she has decided to become a housewife. Prince Charming, a perfect marriage, an immaculate home and a string of children — everything is ready, except for one small detail: she still hasn’t found a husband. Perhaps he’s hiding somewhere in the audience? And what happens when boredom sets in, when despair creeps into a life lived entirely under the weight of expectation?

Through this fake stand-up show, as sharp as it is hilarious, Eve Aouizerate twists the codes of the romantic fairy tale to dissect the contemporary fantasy of “tradwives”: influencers glorifying a return to an obedient, domestic ideal of femininity. A razor-edged satire on the appeals of conservatism and the contradictions of a generation shaped by feminist struggles.
