With the support of Adami
Breathing in, descending, surfacing to air… In Vesaas’s text, a man – half dying – drifts southwards, fighting forces from his past or from another life – his own perhaps. His nearness to death teaches him the things nobody else knows. Claude Régy conjures up a virgin territory where boundaries are constantly blurred, seeking out the dark, fearful recesses of our consciousness.
In the same place
Kornél Mundruczó, Proton Theatre Parallax
The Hungarian film and theatre director Kornél Mundruczó has always been a shrewd observer of the way contemporary society has transformed family structures, as shown in his films White God (2015), a prize-winner at Cannes, Pieces of A Woman (2019) and Evolution (2021). In Parallax, he investigates the notion of identity, at the crossroads between social affirmation and area of freedom.
Daria Deflorian La Vegetariana
By means of a family portrait, The Vegetarian, a masterpiece of South Korean literature by author Han Kang – Nobel Prize in Literature 2024 – charts a dizzying map of violence, be it physical, psychological, or political. Tapping into the the power of the text itself, Daria Deflorian and her onstage companions tease from out of it the stuff of a theatrical elixir.
Animal Architecte Les Forces vives
This show is about how a life can be invented, understood and told at the same time. And about how Simone de Beauvoir, born in 1908, was both author and chronicler of her existence. What kind of energy, what type of combativity does freedom imply? In Les Forces vives, Animal Architecte brings us a fascinating and astonishing fresco of the writer's journey.
