TV Series 2.1 HAITI
In the cult series "Languichatte au XXème siècle", what is the name of the faithful servant, whose repartee with Languichatte has become legendary ?
75% of players answered correctly.
THE CORRECT ANSWER: Mélanie
In the world of Théodore Beaubrun, the character of Mélanie, played brilliantly by actress Marie-Andrée Raymond Jeudy, occupied a central place. More than a simple servant, she represented popular conscience and common sense in the face of the often ridiculous pretensions of her boss, Languichatte Debordus.Their exchanges, a mixture of superficial hierarchical respect and sharp sarcasm, constituted the comic engine of the series. Mélanie did not hesitate to put Languichatte in his place when he lost his way in his pompous speeches in French. This dynamic made it possible to approach class relations in Haiti with humor.The bond between the two actors was such that the public often identified them as a real family. Mélanie has thus become an emblematic figure of the courageous, lucid Haitian woman endowed with devastating humor, forever marking the history of filmed theater and national television.
