Vincent will be returning to the stage! It's been over two decades since Vincent has worked in theatre so it comes as a wonderful surprise. He is starring alongside Elsa Zylberstein in "Le temps qui passe", which he is directing as well. The play is an original piece written by his wife. Performances will run from March 10 through April 23 at the Theatre du Mathurins in Paris. The following is a French synopsis: Une femme cherche son père inconnu depuis l'enfance. Dotée d'une hypermnésie, elle a la mémoire de tout mais de son père elle ne se souvient de rien. Un soir d'orage elle fait une démarche chez un homme "spécialiste des abandons". Entre ces deux personnages se joue un jeu de mots et d'esprit dissimulant la gêne d'une intimité qui s'installe malgré eux. Grâce à cet homme, cette femme mystérieuse remplacera pour lui sa quête originelle et cet homme trouvera en elle un amour possible et la fin de ses solitudes. Cette rencontre a-t-elle vraiment existé ou était-ce seulement un simple mirage? L'obsession du temps est-elle de celui qui passe ou celui qui reste à vivre? (The above photo shows Vincent with Elsa at the Marrakesh International Film Festival in December)

MONSIEUR PAPA will be released in French theatres on June 1st. Actor Kad Merad makes his directorial debut and takes on the lead role in this comedy, also starring Vincent and Michelle Laroque.
