Talented and funny…This is an extremely burlesque, lively, witty, creative high profile event, wonderfully performed, not to speak of the Bolchoi Ballerina. To be seen urgently. And THIS is not propaganda!
Nicole Clodi La Dépêche du midi Feb 25th 2016
By dint of subtle strokes, never yielding to caricature, “Propaganda” brings up the deluded hopes , the wear and tear of a system at the end of its rope. A true sad clown, Jean-Pierre Cacérès sometimes injects a compelling humanity into this offbeat history lesson. An original and glamorous one-man show.

… last but not least, a rarity to be discovered: “ PROPAGANDA”, a Soviet “fantasy”, a one-man show without text about propaganda during the Soviet Union! Enacted by Jean-Pierre Cacérès, a precious stone of political burlesque, definitely to be discovered.
Michèle Laurence July 16th Avignon
The show, though sometimes fierce, is not an indictment but a true slapstick comedy, an almost unveiled tribute to the burlesque Soviet silent movies of the late twenties and to one of its masters Dziga Vertov.
Mathieu Arnal Le Brigadier September 2016
No need for “propaganda”, Jean-Pierre Cacérès is totally self-reliable when he embodies a silent picture movie on stage: the facial expressions, the supple body, the precise and soft gestures. This is why, whenever he summons the emblematic characters of Russia before the collapse of the Wall, you believe yourself to be in a Charlie Chaplin film.
