"Sous les arbres dans les petits villages, et sur les scènes sophistiquées de grandes métropoles ; dans les halls d’écoles, les champs, les temples ; dans les quartiers pauvres, les places publiques, dans les centres de loisirs et les sous-sols de cités, les gens se regroupent pour communier dans les mondes théâtraux éphémères que nous créons pour exprimer notre complexité humaine, notre diversité, notre vulnérabilité, en chair et en os, en souffle, en voix."

ReplyDeleteThe last play I saw is "La Cantatrice Chauve" de Ioneso ! I was also very surprised by this play because of the costumes, the actors... This play shows the lack of commmunication between peoples in our society... But it was very funny !
ReplyDeleteThe last play I saw was with the people of my class and it was "Rhinocéros" written by Ionesco. This is the story of Berenger who sees all the inhabitants of his town being transformed into rhinoceri...At the end he is the only person who stays human. With this play Ionesco wanted to denounce fascism and more generally extremism.

ReplyDeleteThe last play I saw was "l'étudiante et Mr. Henry". It was made by Roger Dumas. It's the story of a studient who live in collocation with a very old man. This was for me a fantastic play, and I did'nt expect the play to be as good.
ReplyDeleteI was very suprised and it was for me one of my favorites play.

The last play I saw was " Nos femmes" with Daniel Auteuil and Richard Berry. It is the story of two friends who spend an evening together and a third man ( another friend) comes in the flat where they are. He told them that he killed his wife and he is drunk. So, Auteuil and Berry search for a way to help him. In the same time, they learn some new things in their friendship through their wifes. The question is : women can break or make stronger a friendship or not ?
ReplyDeleteThe last play I saw is "Mensonges d'état". It is the story of operation fortitude during world war II and how it was prepared. So, we face the war difficulties and what people were ready to do to make of that operation a success.
ReplyDeleteThe last play I saw was L'Avare written by Molière. It's really a funny play and it's really I think my favourite Molière's play. When it comes to me the need of laughing I look this play and it works at each time.
