Following a serious bout of fatigue, the Théâtre Édouard VII must cancel performances of Lapin until Wednesday, November 8. Spectators will be able to obtain a refund or postpone their visit to a later date. Forced to rest by doctors, the actor who had promised to “slow down” struggles to do nothing.
“He absolutely must rest,” insists his wife Évelyne Bouix. His state of health last Wednesday did not allow him to perform Samuel Benchetrit’s play with Muriel Robin. A second time, the Edward VII theater had to be evacuated. “He resumed too soon, he was in too much of a hurry to resume. In addition, he had neither eaten breakfast nor lunch, said a relative. He must remain calm.
He will also not be able to promote the TV film Clemenceau, la force d’aimer by Lorraine Lévy, which is scheduled to be broadcast at the beginning of November on France 2. A fiction adapted by Jacques Santamaria from the novel by Nathalie Saint-Cricq, author of Je vous I will help me to live, you will help me to die published by Éditions de l’Observatoire (2021).
The insatiable actor will not be going to the Roubaix Swimming Pool either, which has been dedicating an exhibition to Georges Arditi, his painter father, since October 7. On the 16th of the same month, with his sisters, Catherine, Rachel and Danièle Arditi, he was to read texts paying tribute to him.
At the end of September, Pierre Arditi, who will celebrate his 79th birthday on December 1, had vagal discomfort and hypoglycemia. He resumed the piece seven days after stopping it. “It’s not a stroke,” he told us. I’m tired, but it’s normal that I’m tired, I’m going to rest, I’ll be fine. I have to take care of myself.”
