The hero of a poetic tale
In this poetic tale for young and old staged by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota and Fabrice Melquiot, he interpreted the so-called Bouli, and had thus agreed to answer questions from France 3 Reims for the occasion:
“It's a trip to space”he explained, already endowed with a real ease on the screen.
“Bouli will want to get rid of his family to go find his love forever, which is his cousin a little older than him, namely Petula. And therefore he will want to make this trip which will be an initiatory journey for him. He will discover the space and several characters, the little prince, a giant flea, etc., like a tale.”
A few years after this visit to television, Pierre Niney became the youngest resident of the Comédie-Française, and was preparing an impressive career in the cinema.
