A high-energy comedy in which poetry, love, and humor intertwine in the unique setting of a gym where hearts will flutter...<p> Pierre and Morgane have just broken up. He, a poet by profession, unable to bear the thought of living without his beloved, is sinking into an unprecedented depression. Extremely melancholic, apathetic, and depressed, he even contemplates suicide. His doctor's final piece of advice: join a gym, get some exercise, let off steam—in short, get back in shape. Between the weights and the treadmills, the young man meets two colorful coaches, Chloé and Alex. The duo, brimming with energy and determined to get Pierre back on his feet, are in for a tough challenge... Morgane, their protégé's ex-girlfriend, is also a gym regular! From romantic entanglements to cardio workouts, from gallant verses to sculpted muscles, they're going to have to give it their all.</p><p> Its author (and one of the actors on stage), Guillaume Renoult, is a veteran of the genre, responsible for (among other things) the high-energy comedy "Chéri faut qu'on parle" (Honey, We Need to Talk), which has been performed over 900 times and won the Prix du Printemps du Rire de L'Humour (Springtime of Laughter Comedy Prize) in 2012. The play is directed by the talented and prolific Nathalie Hardouin (Stop Crying, Penelope! or Couple, mode d'emploi). Perfect for relaxing!</p>
