September 1983 – September 2023. Forty years separate the release of Euzhan Palcy’s film Rue Cases-Nègres as long as The Ear is bold pass with Garry Cadenat. Meeting a man when unconsciously we are surprised not to have a little 10-year-old boy in front of us, such as the face of the young hero of the film, with his hat bakoua screwed on the head, is imprinted in our brains and the collective unconscious!
Return with the person concerned on this unforgettable life experience in the podcast The Ear is bold :
By Garry’s own admission, little José is both very far away in time and always present in one way or another. He realizes this every time he is stopped in the street. He also realizes this, surely, in his own choices. Because man always navigates around the audiovisual sector: TV, radio, animation… Always, therefore, more or less in contact with the public, who, moreover, considers himself shy and reserved!

Whether he likes it or not, Garry Cadenat, forty years later, still lives on Rue Cases-Nègres! A lot because the public didn’t let him move. Especially since he still lives in Martinique where the film was shot.
He will always remain, he says, “little José”; and even if for a time the burden was heavy, he understands it and assumes it perfectly today. Besides, didn’t he himself try to find other roles to try to make people forget the kid from Rue Cases-Nègres?

Following this adventure and the incredible success of Rue Cases-Nègres, following his studies, Garry Cadenat will try to continue the momentum and momentum that the film gave him. Schools and theater classes will do nothing: at the time, there were too few roles for a young black actor. Which doesn’t stop him from bouncing back and taking his boat and his life where he wants to take it.

No bitterness in Garry Cadenat. Perhaps a regret: that of not having, throughout these forty years, been around his former playmates more. Many have left us and few are those with whom he still has regular contact, but “it’s is life !” he concludes, philosophically.
To be continued in the podcast The Ear is boldthe frank look of a man who opens up on one of the important moments of his life, on a cultural and heritage aspect, on notoriety, illusions and joys…
Listen Garry Cadenat, dance The Ear is boldit’s this way !
