Juillet

It's quite a "bag of knots" that young Grenoble-born Clément Bonhomme tackles with his staging of Juillet : the monologue of a septuagenarian who stabs, decapitates, dismembers or even devours his victims for love. But author Ivan Viripaev, who likes to stir up trouble in his texts, issues an instruction: "the performer is a woman".
There will be two of them to seize on the protagonist's excesses, shifting them with humor to make their absurdity heard. And as madness takes hold of this marginalized man, the actresses - one a killer, the other a victim - put the immutable pattern of patriarchal violence and domination into perspective. A creation that engages the audience in unraveling and dissecting this story to better position themselves.
