A director accuses the ecologist deputy Aurélien Taché of having “disturbed” a performance of his play in a Parisian theater on Tuesday evening while being intoxicated, which the elected official defends himself. “This (Tuesday) evening, the deputy @Aurelientache, totally drunk, deeply disrupted the performance. Speaking loudly, applauding absurdly, insulting the comedian until the latter interrupted himself and asked him to leave”, tweeted Benjamin Guillard, whose play “Letters to Anne” is performed at the Théâtre Lepic.
1/2 I am the director of “Letters to Anne” which is currently being played at the Lepic theater.

A growing business
“He then lamentably threatened the manager with reprisals. It was absolutely mind-blowing and lamentable. Who do you take yourself for, Aurélien Taché? What world do you live in?”, the director was indignant. Contacted by AFP, the elected representative of Val-d’Oise in the Paris region did not respond.
But to the newspaper Liberation, he said he was “really surprised” at the extent taken by a scene “which lasted two minutes”. He said he “applauded” and therefore “a bit naively disrupted the performance”. “And at the same time, a phone rang, which contributed to the hubbub. Then I wanted to clap quietly, waving my hands. Which the actor didn’t understand, and he told me So asked to go out. What I did! Certainly grumbling, saying that it was inadmissible, but I went out, “added the deputy, saying that he had” had a drink or two before ” the room.
“You’re Gonna Hear From Me”
At this stage, the environmental group does not foresee any sanction against Aurélien Taché and is waiting to find out more. Also quoted by Liberation, actress Marie-Clotilde Ramos-Ibanez (“Plus belle la vie”), who was present in the room on Tuesday evening, confirmed the version given by the director, affirming that the man whom she had not immediately identified as Aurélien Taché had launched on leaving the room: “You will hear about me, I am a deputy”.
Requested by AFP, the Lepic theater could not be reached immediately. At the beginning of September, Aurélien Taché had been sentenced to a fine of 5,000 euros in Niort for having insulted the police who intervened after an attack of which he had been the victim in this city in February.
