Aurélien Taché will not have seen the end of the play. A director accuses the ecologist deputy of having “disrupted” a performance in a Parisian theater on Tuesday evening while being intoxicated, which the elected official defends himself.
“This (Tuesday) evening, MP Aurélien Taché, totally drunk, deeply disrupted the performance. Speaking loudly, clapping absurdly, inveighing at the comedian until the latter interrupts and asks him to come out, ”tweeted Benjamin Guillard, whose play Letters to Anne is performed at the Théâtre Lepic. “He then lamentably threatened the manager with reprisals. It was absolutely mind-blowing and lamentable. Who do you think you are, Aurélien Taché? What world do you live in? “, was indignant the director.
Aurélien Taché says he “had a drink or two”
The deputy from Val-d’Oise, for his part, felt that his applause “was not appropriate, but I left as soon as I was asked to. While grumbling, it’s true, but I didn’t insult anyone. There’s nothing too bad.” In the newspaper Release, he said he was “really surprised” at the scale taken by a scene “which lasted two minutes”. He said he “applause” and therefore “a bit naively disrupted the performance”.
“At the same time, a phone rang, which added to the hubbub. Then I wanted to clap quietly, waving my hands. What the actor did not understand, and therefore he asked me out. What I have done ! Admittedly, by grumbling, by saying that it was inadmissible, but I left”, he still added, affirming that he had “drank a glass or two before” the play.
“You will hear about me, I am a deputy”
Also quoted by Release, Patrick Mille, actor in the play, believes that there is “nothing serious. There are no complaints, he was not violent and he came out when I asked him”. Actress Marie-Clotilde Ramos-Ibanez (More beautiful life), who was present in the room, for her part confirmed the version given by the director, affirming that the man whom she had not immediately identified as Aurélien Taché had said when leaving the room: “You go hear about me, I’m a deputy”. At this stage, the environmental group does not foresee any sanction against Aurélien Taché and is waiting to find out more.
