The Theory of Fragments by Matthieu Loos invites Alsatians, but others too, to delve into intimacy and history! Especially when the play is performed at the Alsace-Moselle Memorial on November 22.
By intertwining a fictional theory with historical events, the author creates a work that is both intimate and universal, the associations “Le Repère” and “The weights are flying” present to us this play by Matthieu Loos by the Compagnie Combats Absurdes .
There we meet in particular Charles Loos, great-uncle of the author, Despite Us, who died on the Russian front…
Synopsis of the play : Stories haunt us, not really ghosts, not really memories. They are fragments of ourselves, and react according to fragment theory. This risks a representation of reality where we do not inhabit time, but a material which would have itself shaped it.
According to the theory of fragments, we are even accountable for the past and the future.
The play presents itself as an interweaving of the laws of said theory and scenes dealing with the fate of Alsace during the Second World War. There we meet in particular Charles Loos, great-uncle of the author, Despite Us, who died on the Russian front in the German army. Although deceased, the latter intervened in the trial of Robert Wagner, plenipotentiary Nazi representative in Alsace between 1940 and 1944, tried and sentenced to death in 1946.
