Être ou ne pas être, William Mesguich, Le Nouveau Chapitre, Seclin
On Sunday 15 November 2026 at 17:00 Le Nouveau Chapitre in Seclin presents the theatre piece Être ou ne pas être by William Mesguich. The listing calls it an autobiographical creation, part tribute to his father and part declaration of love for the theatre. It asks whether to become a professional footballer or to embrace a life as an artist, and whether to make one's way in a father's shadow or seek recognition through one's own work and personality. The listing adds that Seclin has welcomed the actor several times, and that his father Daniel directed the Lille theatre La Métaphore before it became the Théâtre du Nord. Tariffs are 20, 15 and 5 euros, on reservation through the town's online ticket office. The show is listed as running from 17:00 to 18:45. A one-person theatre afternoon like this is easy to attend alone, since everyone in the room shares the same story on stage. «Création autobiographique, entre hommage filial et déclaration d’amour au théâtre.» Starts 17:00, ends about 18:45.
