Aussi à l’aise au four qu’au moulin, Michel Fau fait partie de ces artistes rares osant avec brio s’amuser d’une traversée du miroir qui lui permet d’accumuler les succès dans son métier d’acteur tout autant que dans celui de metteur en scène. Avec sa présence incontournable et sa générosité si singulière, cet amoureux des tragédiennes d’antan et des icônes de l’opéra aime avec humour à se réinventer sur scène en star des revues du music-hall où comme ici en jouant les divas dans le plus improbable des récitals. Au coeur de son dispositif transformiste, voici Michel Fau s’emparant de l’opéra de Camille Saint-Saëns, Samson et Dalila, pour revisiter par la voix et la danse quelques-uns des moments forts de l’oeuvre, de la Danse des Prêtresses de Dagon à Printemps qui commence, Bacchanale, et Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix. Une thématique lyrique joyeusement perturbée par quelques extraits de Phèdre de Jean Racine, le climax baroque de Castor et Pollux de Jean-Philippe Rameau ou la tendre madeleine proustienne du Summertime de Porgy and Bess de George Gershwin.
