Audience Reviews
- I was amazed by the ability to keep the show dynamic while being alone on stage. A big bravo! Great balance between historical anecdotes and humor. I learned a lot and laughed. It made me want to return to the Louvre :) - Ségolène
- We laughed a lot! The actress who plays the Mona Lisa is perfect. The text is funny, the pacing great, and the comebacks spot on. A fun, easygoing moment that we wish lasted longer! - FoukiFredo
- An actress who can do it all! Singing, dancing, and telling us a story without ever making a mistake or hesitating. The delivery is fluid and the text brilliant and funny. Thank you for this excellent evening. - Maggie

TÉLÉRAMA
Qui l’eût cru ? La Joconde parle, chante et danse ! Dans un monologue truffé d’anecdotes historiques méconnues et savoureuses, Laurent Ruquier déborde de curiosité, de verve et de tendresse pour cette icône de l’art acquise par François Ier en 1519. L’incarne avec un peps insolent et sans vraiment lui ressembler, Karina Marimon.
PARIS LA DOUCE
Elle incarne une Mona Lisa piquante, qui n'a pas sa langue dans la poche, verve savoureuse à la fantaisie des pus divertissantes. Seule en scène, sur le ton de la conversation informelle avec ses admirateurs, elle redonne vie à cette icône de l'art dans une mise en scène dynamique signée Rodolphe Sand, pousse la chansonnette avec talent. Un spectacle plein de tendresse, instructif et très réussi.
