French playwright, screenwriter, and actor Gabor Rassov began his theatrical career with the company founded by his brother, screenwriter Lucio Mad. The Asylum Culturel allowed him to perform in two plays written by Soupault, among others: Rendez-vous and Étranger dans la nuit. After honing his skills writing short films, Rassov wrote his first play for the stage: Parti crime (1991). Pierre Pradinas directed several of his works, including one that earned him a Molière Award nomination for Best Author: Jacques et Mylène.
