Isabelle Huppert in the past spring, the brilliant Suliane Brahim now. Everyone has their Bérénice. The Italian Romeo Castellucci offered the French star a face-to-face with the shadows, where she alone lived the tirades of the Queen of Judea, watched by the dogs and the Roman centurions. The Flemish Guy Cassiers, him, installs the great interpreter of the Comédie-Française in a setting of marble and crystal, winter garden where still believing in the miracle of a word which would thwart the ruthless reason of state. In the Ark of the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier, in Paris until May 11, Suliane Brahim is this princess who delights Titus and Antiochus, both played, but yes, by Jérémy Lopez. She is only a vigorous silk and alizé, we believe, you are also a captive in love. That is to say the spell.

J.-C, that of Roman omnipotence, that of an inventing power, over the centuries, its instruments of domination and torture. He covered a poem as learned as they are captivating which was also, in truth, a portrait of Isabelle Huppert on stage.
