A performance piece and moments captured in small stories, with minor problems alongside major ones...
Alain Béhar / Cécile Saint-Paul
A theatre in the making, at the crossroads of play and performance, a real-time, audacious work, captured in the moment, specially dedicated to curious minds. This itinerant project by Alain Béhar – author, actor, director – is written and constructed from theatre to theatre, over time and through life, weaving invisible threads between reality and fiction.
It is an endless cycle (growing daily) of very short dialogues, sometimes a little longer, "briefs" or snapshots, most often between couples, caught in their daily lives, both ordinary and unique, somewhat poetic or melancholic. Moments taken from small stories, with minor problems alongside major ones, gently juxtaposed. We hear the sounds of the world, in the ordinary conversations, as if at home. One can also hear, subtly woven into the work, a kind of powerlessness or resignation at play in the face of tiny battles that nonetheless carry the weight of the greatest struggles. It's both good and bad, simultaneously sad and funny, tender and ironic. A sort of deconstructed vaudeville or a "contemporary western" steeped in the blues.
Refreshments and a meeting with the artist will follow the performance.
