Mon absente

Author and director Pascal Rambert writes especially for the six actresses and five actors he brings together here on stage. Mon absente is a choral play, in which characters are brought together by the loss of a loved one. In a space plunged into darkness, with indistinct boundaries, bodies and words emerge. Ten people are there to address the absent loved one. What links exist, both between them and with this absent person? Through their memories, the words exchanged, the evocation of poignant or infinitesimal moments, a life is reconstructed. In this work of memory, where contradictions, interpretations and rewritings emerge, portraits of the people involved also take shape. Memory is alive and active, a force for projection.
