Some achievements

As directing of the National theater of Strasbourg it assembled Mélite of Pierre Corneille with the class of the trainees. During the long first scene which is used to make a statement on the action, the two actors in scene stripped themselves then endorsed other clothing, animating the scene of probable movements. Lassalle took up this idea of setting in scene in other parts. Perhaps constrained by the composition of the class of trainees, it made play the same character by two actors, with identical costumes so that the spectator identifies them. In addition, the nurse was interpreted by a man. These shifts between the stage performance and reality introduced a charm particular to the spectacle.
In False Following the of Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, Lassalle had the idea to prolong the first act by an action without word, thus revealing the sexual desire of the Frontin servant for the Knight (who is a woman); at the end of the part, new action without word which showed the financial voracity of Lélio and of the countess.
In the Countess of Escarbagnas of Molière, the role of the countess was held by a man. The action was located in an attic which one reached only by one trap door which opened and closed oneself on the level of the floor of the scene.
