Drawing inspiration very freely from a fragment of the Dream of a summer night of Shakespeare, director Maëlle Dequiedt composes a tailor-made show for the three actresses of the young troupe of the Comédie de Colmar. Why do we want to do theater? How can you make it with almost nothing? Response with laughter and music!
If Shakespeare has fun in A Midsummer Night’s dream to interweave magic and reality, he slips in some astonishing scenes. The funniest in the room! Like a mise en abyme, a group of artisans suddenly appear and prepare a play for the Duke’s wedding. They are not actors, they improvise. Wouldn’t the thousand questions they ask themselves echo those of the actors who are starting out today? At the dawn of their careers, the artists of the young troupe of the Comédie de Colmar are full of dreams and worries, but also of a crazy desire to explore all the possibilities of theater. It is this vibrant energy that Maëlle Dequiedt seizes to make it the jubilant material of a show created on the spot. With great generosity, theater here becomes a craft, where contemporary writing and music played live by the actors come to impact the words of the playwright. Placed under the sign of the summer solstice, which is said to be the most mysterious night of the year, Faire le mur is like a big bonfire over which we jump to play games. scare.
