Le Système de Ponzi David Lescot | | | | Le Système de Ponzi recounts the life of Charles Ponzi, an Italian who emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. After experiencing a number of setbacks over a 15-year period he embarked on a financial scam in Boston - guaranteeing 50% interest in 45 days, reimbursing the interest to the first subscribers with the money deposited by later subscribers - making him a millionaire for a year. Ponzi was eventually caught by finance inspectors, sentenced, and ended his life bankrupt in an old people’s home in Brazil. |
| “David Lescot has the expertise of a one-man-band, writing, directing and composing. […] His appetite for the theater has clearly given him a powerful personal style in which he often ‘removes’ the audience from its mental comfort zone.”
Emmanuelle Bouchez, Télérama, October 10, 2009
“Lescot transports you into an extravagant and totally anachronistic human species which shakes and snakes through the knots made by a historical narrative blended in with a personal one.”
Daniel Conrod, Télérama, October 25, 2008
