Five small gravitational forms around the work of Annie Ernaux. Our company embraced the exercise of the auto-socio-biography dear to Annie Ernaux, creating five monologues: "Les Instantanés." Five life journeys, directly adapted from her novels or written in her style, always walking the fine line between individual and collective memory.
#1 LA PLACE - #2 UNE FEMME by Annie Ernaux.
La Place and Une Femme are two monologues about the respective lives of Annie Ernaux's parents. Two stories to grasp the bond that united them throughout their lives. In La Place, the author seeks to repair the love that was separated between her and her father, while in Une Femme, she attempts to rediscover the various faces and life of her mother. Using photographs, quotes, significant events, gestures, and daily habits, Annie Ernaux will paint their portraits, all while placing them within the context of their era. Coming from a working-class background, she pursued higher education and gradually joined a bourgeois world. By recounting her past life and memories of her place within the family circle, she transcends her own condition to represent a collective voice: "I write because I felt similar to others."
Performance : Camille Daloz and Emmanuelle Bertrand (2 x 40 minutes)
#3 ALEXANDRE - #4 BASTIEN - #5 JERÉMY "LA TRILOGIE DU SAMEDI"
by Alexandre Cafarelli, Bastien Molines, Jérémy Cateland et Camille Daloz.
La Trilogie du samedi takes us into the adolescence of three actors from the company. In a back-and-forth between poetic speech and documentary theatre, each explores their social and family construction, as well as the particularities of their journey. Through a complicity with the audience, Bastien, Alexandre, and Jéremy reassemble the puzzle of their memories, drawing on excerpts from diaries, family album photos, and references unique to their generation. So what does it mean to be a teenager in the 90s? What do you do when you prefer watching Buffy rather than football? Can you become something other than a Peugeot factory worker in the suburbs of Montbéliard? How do you grow your roots when you live on a sailboat? What do others think of me? And Dad? The Saturday Trilogy is an intimate, moving, and humorous journey inspired by the work of Annie Ernaux, always walking the line between individual and collective memory.
Performance : Alexandre Cafarelli, Jérémy Cateland, and Bastien Molines
(3 x 35 minutes)
