The Blanche Gardin enigma: support for the homeless, diatribe against Amazon… Itinerary of a rabid volunteer

Do you know the “golden square” seats? In performance halls, it’s a very coveted little perimeter bringing together the best placed seats – and therefore the most expensive – just in front of the stage. An area, in fact, generally inaccessible to the poor. Exception made this Sunday, March 31, 2019. In the large enclosure of the Zenith of Paris (XIX), full to bursting for Blanche Gardin, a dozen homeless people invited by the humorist to the two Molières attend a front row seat to a special performance of her third one-woman-show. All the profits go that day to the Fondation Abbé Pierre and the association Les Enfants du canal, which fight against poor housing.
