#SchumanShow Get ready for an eyebrow-raising interview with Kelly Agathos in a sit-down with outgoing European Commissioner for Internal Market of the EU, Thierry Breton. Known for his flair for ✨drama✨, Breton recently made a grand (ahem, "strategic") exit from the European Commission, and the Schuman Show just had to have a heart-to-heart before he left for good.

With the new crop of Commissioners-designates stepping up for hearings this week at the European Parliament, we thought it best to wrap up the 2019-2024 EC mandate with a frank conversation with the ex-commissioner. In this exclusive interview, Breton speaks out on everything from his turbulent exit, his "passive-aggressive" relationship with Elon Musk, to his latest passion: penning sci-fi novels about a dashing rebel named... Thierry Normand. As he throws in sharp digs at the Commission's "newcomers" and reflects on what real experience in the private sector brings to politics, Breton makes it clear he’s not fading into the background any time soon.

With plenty of French flair and a touch of rivalry, this interview shines a light on the quirks of EU politics and Thierry’s larger-than-life ambitions. Buckle up for this satirical deep-dive with a European legend—subsidies, rivalry, and a bit of ego, all wrapped in one. Watch now!

✨ With Kelly Agathos and Barry McKeon. Director Gabriel Soler. Theatre coach & Choreographer Edward McMillan.
