First, get hold of a magnifying glass, a microscope, a telescope, or any other optical instrument that can provide a modified view. Scramble up the steps of the observation post. When the magnificent animal appears, observe it carefully. Try to get closer. Fail to avoid detection. Start over.

For the third consecutive year, French Theatre has invited a group of teenagers to turn our premises into their very own creative space! The concept is the same but the project is different: directed by multidisciplinary artist and educator Anne-Marie Guilmaine, the young people will be working with an established script. Objective: To immerse themselves in a centuries-old literary classic; explore its exhilarating twists and turns; let themselves be perturbed, shaken, disoriented; clarify its meanings, dissect its resonances … Right here, right now, anything goes! Appropriate the text, agitate it, wring it out, hang it up to dry, and rewrite history. Or, conversely, leave it completely untouched, and scope it out without changing so much as a comma. One thing for sure: it will be an amazing and memorable creative adventure for everyone involved!

  • TEXT AND STAGING Anne-Marie Guilmaine
  • BASED ON Sophocles, Anouilh and Bauchau
