Variations / Jean-Luc Lagarce

"Accompanied by ten actors (chosen as part of Adami's Paroles d'acteurs operation), I'm going to learn with them about Jean Luc Lagarce's writing.
"I wrote you a long letter and - I tore it up" wrote Gorky to Chekhov. "(...) it was like being sawed in half with an old saw. The teeth cut straight to the heart, and the heart squeezes under the comings and goings, it screams and struggles (...)" Listening to your play, I was thinking about the life we sacrifie to an idol, about the irruption of beauty in people's miserable lives, and about many serious, fundamental things."
What I already sense is the ferocious drollery, the immense turmoil, the life contained in this writing to be deciphered like a score... an author's word measured, rhythmic, uneven, that we must, together, learn by heart."
