Lac

Denis Maillefer directs this creation written by Pascal Rambert, author of Clôture de l'amour. This text is the fruit of a meeting between the students and the author, who saw them perform and asked them what they liked, in the theater... and in life. He writes for each of them, based on them, their desires and their inspirations.

I came to La Manufacture. I wanted to meet the young actresses and actors. I wanted to see them. Physically. I write for specific people. Not "in general". I wanted to hear their range. We talked together. I took pictures of their faces with my iPhone. Then I left. Then I wrote. For them. Individually. Sometimes looking at their portraits. I wrote for them Lac, a story in which language is the first subject. A story of language, with sixteen bodies minus one facing death, sex and crime.(Pascal Rambert)
