THEATRE, MODE D’EMPLOI

Description

Two actors discuss what the art of theater is all about – far from dusty clichés. They venture forth, feel their way, and sometimes argue. Both share the same desire: to spark an interest in attending the theater. To turn their words into action, the duo proposes to perform an Austrian play. Now it is Franz and Margaret who must leave the burning Vienna at the end of World War II. The magic works and intensifies: We are now deep in the heart of Austria, in the midst of a snowstorm. But suddenly, the eras collide, and Franz and Margaret jump from 1945 to the year 2023, discovering in disbelief today’s Europe, its political challenges, and smartphones… Team: Text: Hervé Blutsch and Benoît Lambert Direction: Maïanne Barthès Assistant Director: Léonie Kerckaert Cast: Marion Astorg, Romane Bauer Costumes: Ouria Dahmani-Khouhli and Vérane Mounier Production: Compagnie Spell Mistake(s) Originally produced by the Comédie de Saint-Étienne Supported by DIESE# Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, an integration program of the École de la Comédie de Saint-Étienne.
