Festival de Caves - Théâtre Souterrain
- From 9 may to 20 june 2024
- Cave, Lieu donné lors du rendez vous
- The Festival de caves runs from 9 May to 20 June in the cellars of Bisont. At the same time, it is criss-crossing the roads of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, creating a complex geography lined with ramifications, junctions, crossroads and sudden forks in the road. The 2024 programme of the Festival de caves seems to be driven by the idea of nomadism, movement and travel, and the creative projects and choice of themes and stories reflect this. - "Make rhizomes, not roots" said Deleuze, inviting us to discover geographies - of thought - that are more open and extensive, freer and more flexible. This year, more than ever, the Festival de caves seems to be staging artistic proposals that respond to each other, bringing together anti-conformism, fluidity, exploration, travel, emancipation… on stages and through writing that is as intimate as it is social or historical… A committed season, then, in the sense that mobility is on the side of commitment, making the inertia, the over-established sedentariness, the experiments of a thought at a standstill, too fixed and without question… - Like every year, the Festival de caves will take place in the spring. It's the time of pollen, the time of sowing ; the time when nature gives itself, in addition to the roots that keep it alive, while condemning it to remain in place, the possibility of spreading at the whim of the winds or the flights of insects… - "Unrooted" could be this movement - and ours ! - * - To begin the journey, let's lift the ink with Balbuzar, the 'all-ages' hero inspired by the children's book of the same name by Gérard Moncomble (illustrated by Frédéric Pillot), who has chosen to sail the seas ; and what better way to get unrooted than in the company of a pirate, a figure of non-conformism and political emancipation. - Emancipation is also at stake in Le Jeu de la Chèvre, written by Vincent Tiran, a 'dangerous' retelling of Alphonse Daudet's La Chèvre de M. Seguin (Mr Seguin's Goat), chained to its post ; a metaphor for the power games and relationships of manipulation and domination that are played out in the intimacy of certain relationships. - Yet another example of emancipation : that of the woman Marie-Pierre, formerly Jean-Pierre, who accompanies her elderly father every Tuesday to help him in the shops. Tuesdays at Monoprix by Jean-Pierre Darley. - Another nomadic female figure is Medea, a raging poem, a myth captured in Jean-René Lemoine's contemporary writing. - Ctrl-X, by Pauline Peyrade, is the original writing of a porous identity, which is composed and decomposed, revealed in fragments, both defeated and conquered, where snippets of the self and the Other are knotted, changed and blended, in a world where traces of reality and fiction coexist. - In Cathédrale des cochons, Jean D'Amérique delivers, in a single sentence, the cry of a Haitian prisoner, a cry of revolt, courage and poetry. - Finally, the character of Tahrir, written by Paul Schirck, confronts his family history through storytelling and music, after discovering letters from his ancestors, colonists in Algeria.
Ulysse de James Joyce
- From 27 may to 9 june 2024
- Fort de Chaudanne, Rue du Fort de Chaudanne
- Ulysses is a strange text. By going "from one thing to another", Joyce overturns the traditional structures of literature. He shatters the shackles of convention, liberating the written word from its stereotypes in order to express his thoughts. He mixes dreams, reveries, obsessions and memories. But Ulysses is a novel that demands of us. Reading it in silence quickly becomes unbearable. When read aloud, however, the energy of the language makes the meaning more apparent. Perhaps the theatre, by embodying the text, is a means of discovery ? - Molly : …yes, he said that I was a mountain flower yes, that's right, we are flowers, the whole body of a woman yes, for once he said something true and it's for you that the sun shines today yes, that's why I liked him, because I could see that he understood or that he felt what it is to be a woman yes…
