The most beautiful sights are those of happy tribes. Thursday in La Chaux-de-Fonds was premiere night and the Théâtre populaire romand (TPR) experienced one of those moments that mark history. Anne Bisang, the director of the house, and the filmmaker Camille de Pietro offered with It starts with fire an eruptive spectacle on the embers of our impulses, poignant in its attention to our wanderings, ambitious in its way of capturing the psyche of a wavering generation. The piece by the Frenchwoman Magali Mougel has this vitality, that of a fresco in penetrating shreds. At the salutes, the entire team – around twenty people – was entitled to a massive ovation.
A story which brings together the specters of the 20th century, which creates a bridge with present times, which is inscribed in the slate of a mountain town which could be La Chaux-de-Fonds. This is what Anne Bisang wanted when she commissioned Magali Mougel, this author who comes from the Vosges and for whom she created, in 2015, Ordinary female warriors – at Poche in Geneva and at TPR. The playwright sought a fateful milestone to which to anchor her fiction, a milestone that would be a point of no return or at least the hope of a leap into the future.
