Le Fond De La Piscine

A funny, moving and liberating show about burnout, self-discovery and life’s turning points.

A former journalist, Maxime Cuny left everything behind after hitting rock bottom – and rather than drowning in it, he chose to laugh about it. On stage, with wit and self-deprecation, he looks back on his childhood in Lorraine, the ruthless world of media, toxic managers, absent loves, the gay scene… and those pivotal moments when everything can change.

Maxime opens up without filter in this solo show that is funny, moving, and deeply human. It’s intimate but never self-indulgent, and sometimes even emotional. He dissects his flaws, celebrates his small victories and the lessons learned on the way. He invites everyone to see a bit of themselves in his bumpy journey. A sincere, liberating, and universal performance that proves you can turn your crises into laughter – and that sometimes, hitting rock bottom is already the start of rising back up.
