Podcasts about La Cage

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill was indicted by an Orleans Parish grand jury on sixteen felony charges last week for allegedly intimidating elected officials in New Orleans. Her bond was set at $4000 and an arrest warrant was issued.Less than a week later, the only thing that remains are the charges. Murrill successfully petitioned the Louisiana Supreme Court to have the bond and warrant removed — and the court indicated she had a good chance at getting the whole thing thrown out.WWNO's Mel Bridges joins us with the latest. This time of year in the Gulf South is best known as hurricane season.

Plus, we revisit some of the film's most iconic moments—including the "I pierced the toast!" breakfast scene, Agador's scene-stealing entrances, the unforgettable dinner sequence, and the hilarious climax that has become comedy legend.Nearly thirty years after its release, does The Birdcage still hold up?

Le champion camerounais des arts-martiaux mixtes retrouve la lumière ce samedi. Francis Ngannou est opposé au Brésilien Philipe Lins. Un retour très attendu pour l'ancien champion des poids lourds de l'UFC, après une période de transition marquée par des changements d'organisation, un passage par la boxe anglaise et un drame familial. Avant son nouveau combat, il se confie dans Mondial sports ! Sa dernière joute MMA remonte à octobre 2024. Face à un autre Brésilien, Renan Ferreira, il avait alors disputé et remporté son unique combat pour la PFL (Professional Fighters League), une organisation à laquelle il s'était associé après avoir quitté avec fracas la fédération reine, l'UFC. L'histoire avec la PFL s'étant également terminée, c'est désormais sous l'égide de Jake Paul, célèbre Youtuber devenu boxeur, que Francis Ngannou reprend du service ce samedi, en mondovision sur Netflix ! Un détour par la boxe Un retour dans la cage qui rappelle que, fin 2023 et début 2024, le Camerounais aux 18 victoires pour trois défaites avait également choisi de déserter l'octogone pour monter sur le ring. Lors de deux soirées de gala, le natif de Batié n'avait pas hésité à se frotter à la boxe anglaise en affrontant deux vedettes du noble art, Tyson Fury puis Anthony Joshua, pour deux défaites et quelques interrogations sur la pertinence de sa démarche à l'arrivée. Un drame personnel Les fans de MMA se souviennent surtout des nouvelles épreuves personnelles que Francis Ngannou a dû traverser récemment, et notamment de la perte d'un fils, il y a pratiquement deux ans jour pour jour. Comme un écho aux autres difficultés que le Camerounais a eu à surmonter tout au long de son parcours de champion.  Le retour dans la cage face à Philipe Lins, c'est le retour d'un vrai combattant, dans tous les sens du terme ! Interview exclusive de Francis Ngannou et présentation de son nouveau combat avec : Xavier Foupa-Pokam, ancien champion de MMA et consultant de Mondial sports Guillaume Duseaux, journaliste du média spécialisé La Sueur Baptiste Leduc, journaliste du service des sports de RFI   * Le son sera disponible dans la page à partir de 19h05 ce samedi.

Comédienne de théâtre et de cinéma, Claire Maurier s'est éteinte dimanche 3 mai à l'âge de 97 ans.

Discrète mais marquante, elle restera l'un des grands seconds rôles du cinéma français.

Le MMA a offert un week-end totalement fou, marqué par un dénouement spectaculaire à l'UFC 327. Dans une ambiance électrique, Carlos Ulberg a créé la sensation en s'emparant de la ceinture des -93 kg face à un Jiri Prochazka dépassé. Une performance marquante qui redistribue complètement les cartes dans la division. La soirée a aussi été rythmée par les prestations solides de Paulo Costa et Dominick Reyes, chacun confirmant son retour au premier plan. L'émotion était également au rendez-vous avec la retraite du légendaire Cub Swanson, salué comme il se doit après une immense carrière. Enfin, difficile de ne pas mentionner la fight week totalement folle de Josh Hokit, véritable OVNI qui continue de captiver les fans. Entre révélations, confirmations et adieux, le MMA a une nouvelle fois prouvé qu'il reste le sport le plus imprévisible de la planète.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 123ème épisode du podcast… et je crois que celui-ci va vous surprendre !Je reçois Adrien Romanenko. Adrien est marié depuis plus de quinze ans. Il est père de famille. Et il a écrit un livre qui s'intitule La Cage. Un récit intime dans lequel il raconte comment la chasteté masculine contrôlée a sauvé son couple.Dit comme ça, ça peut provoquer des réactions, de la curiosité, du scepticisme ou peut-être un petit malaise.Parce que la chasteté masculine contrôlée, on l'associe vite à quelque chose d'extrême et de fétichiste. Mais dans cet épisode, on fait exactement ce qu'on fait toujours ici : on enlève les étiquettes, et on va voir ce qu'il y a derrière.Avec Adrien, on parle d'un mariage qui s'essouffle. D'une sexualité devenue mécanique. D'un rapport au porno qui prend un peu trop de place. D'un homme qui réalise qu'il a perdu quelque chose en route. Et d'une pratique qui, au départ, ressemblait à un jeu un peu radical… et qui est devenue un outil de communication, de reconnexion, presque de reconstruction. On parle de désir masculin, de frustration, de contrôle, de consentement, de masculinité. d'ego et de pouvoir aussi. Et surtout, de ce que ça change, très concrètement, dans la dynamique d'un couple. Cet épisode n'est pas là pour convaincre qui que ce soit d'essayer quoi que ce soit. Il est là pour comprendre.Pour lever un tabou de plus. Pour écouter un homme qui raconte, sans cynisme et sans posture, comment il a transformé sa sexualité pour sauver son lien. Si le sujet vous intrigue, vous bouscule ou vous questionne… restez.Et comme toujours, écoutez avec bienveillance et accueil.Bonne écoute.

Dans cet épisode #270, nous abordons un thème aussi fréquent que silencieux : le syndrome de la cage dorée.Aux côtés de la thérapeute Violaine Capet, nous explorons cette sensation d'être enfermé·e dans une vie qui, sur le papier, semble « réussie », mais qui ne nous satisfait plus profondément.Pourquoi est-il si difficile de partir quand tout semble aller « bien » ?Qu'est-ce qui nous retient : la peur, la culpabilité, le regard des autres, la sécurité ?Comment reconnaître les signes d'un mal-être invisible et commencer à s'en libérer ?Violaine Capet nous aide à mettre des mots sur ce vécu, à comprendre ses mécanismes et à envisager des pistes pour s'en extraire, en respectant son rythme et ses besoins profonds.

Broadway has body issues. What is a Broadway Body? Broadway has long preserved the ideology of the "Broadway Body": the hyper-fit, exceptionally able, triple-threat performer who represents how Broadway musicals favor certain kinds of bodies. Casting is always a political act, situated within a power structure that gives preference to the Broadway Body. In Broadway Bodies: A Critical History of Conformity (Oxford UP, 2023), author Ryan Donovan explores how ability, sexuality, and size intersect with gender, race, and ethnicity in casting and performance. To understand these intersectional relationships, he poses a series of questions: Why did A Chorus Line, a show that sought to individuate dancers, inevitably make dancers indistinguishable? How does the use of fat suits in musicals like Dreamgirls and Hairspray stigmatize fatness? What were the political implications of casting two straight actors as the gay couple in La Cage aux Folles in 1983? How did deaf actors change the sound of musicals in Deaf West's Broadway revivals? Whose bodies does Broadway cast and whose does it cast aside? In answering these questions, Broadway Bodies tells a history of Broadway's inclusion of various forms of embodied difference while revealing its simultaneous ambivalence toward non-conforming bodies.

Today is World AIDS Day, if anyone needed to be reminded. Though I considered doing a compendium episode of broad scope commemorating a handful of the thousands upon thousands of musicians that succumbed to AIDS, I decided instead to focus on one, Broadway icon Larry Kert, who created the role of Tony in West Side Story and was subsequently an early Robert in Sondheim's Company, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. On December 5, we observe his 95th birthday. In between these career highs, he was involved in a number of notorious Broadway flops (Breakfast at Tiffany's, La Strada, and Rags) from each of which we hear rare recordings. And yet during his life, superstardom eluded him. It's quite likely that some of this had to do with him having lived his life openly and unapologetically as a gay man in a time when most comparable figures were deeply in the closet. But Larry was also a familiar figure on television of that era, appearing as a guest star on popular series, on game shows, on commercials, and as a particular favorite of Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, in which he made 29 guest appearances. He also was often seen as a replacement in and on tours of popular musicals such as Cabaret, Two Gentlemen of Verona, I Can Get It for You Wholesale, and, finally, La Cage aux Folles, to name just a few. In that last show, his frail health meant that he had to miss significant numbers of performances, though he continued to make important appearances on stage and on recordings until just shortly before his death on June 5, 1991 at the age of 60. On the episode, we hear him with such legendary co-stars as Teresa Stratas, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Madeline Kahn, Maureen McGovern, Mimi Hines, and Harvey Evans, as well as his WSS co-star Carol Lawrence. We also trace the support and influence he received over the course of his career from his trusted friend Martin Charnin, who played a sometimes surprising role in Kert's career. Though Larry Kert felt that he never received the recognition he deserved, this episode demonstrates how he stood at the forefront of all Broadway tenors of his generation, as well as past and future ones. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Sometimes Criterion shows us a single film from a director we'd never seen before and leaves us wanting for the rest of our project, so often actually that we call them "one and dones". But then sometimes Criterion shows us a movie by Edouard Molinaro and it's fine that they aren't going to show us another. La Cage aux Folles (1978) is a funny movie, and is also a film that wants to show a very normal family that happens to be LGBTQ. It even may succeed, despite the fact that nearly everyone involved in writing, directing, and performing seems to be a straight guy who holds the material in some amount of disdain, though a disdain that doesn't necessarily shine through in performance. There is heart here, despite everything, but it's mostly a "both sides" farce. Still Criterion takes the opportunity to include an interview with Laurence Senelick, author of The Changing Room: Sex, Drag and Theatre, who gives a very interesting history of drag and gender-nonconformity that helps contextualize La Cage in its time, even if it doesn't quell our troubles with the film's politics.

Prochainement à l'affiche de "T'as pas changé" et "La femme la plus riche du monde" au cinéma, Laurent Lafitte sera également bientôt de retour sur scène dans "La Cage aux folles", en version comédie musicale. Il s'est confié à Stéphane Boudsocq Le personnage de la littérature Jeunesse Zélie la Pirate prend vie dans un spectacle à découvrir en famille à Paris au théâtre du Grand Point-Virgule. Laurent Marsick a rencontré sa créatrice, Aurélie Cabrel, la fille aînée d'un certain. Les chanteurs Amir et Mika sont de retour. Ils nous présentent leurs nouvelles chansons au micro de Marie Gicquel. Isabelle Morini-Bosc a testé "Ma Super Ligue 1" sur Gulli et "The Cerveau" sur W9.
