We would always like to have this privilege. To be there, very close to the forge, when the dream is no longer a dream, but a body, a speed, a light. At the Comédie de Genève, from Wednesday, Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni experience this event which is a cut in a destiny, a revolution in a youth, their first professional show. In the lodge where they welcome you, they breathe the lively and woody air of Lenz, this dazzling short story by Georg Büchner (1813-1837), this story of escape that Eléonore stages, that her scenographer accomplice, Maria Clara, inscribes in its clarity.
Feel their ardor, they are overwhelmed twenty-four hours before the baptism of fire, but they give the lie, like cunning mountaineers at the foot of the cliff. On this Lenz, they have planted pitons which scratch the stone and make it speak. Georg Büchner was 22 years old in 1835, one more year to live, but already masterpieces in pieces awaiting posterity, his play Woyzeck in particular and this short story that he wrote with the writer Jakob Lenz in mind.
