Lumières, lumières, lumières / Septembre
Lights, lights, lights unveils the intimate thoughts and moods of Mrs. Ramsay and Lily, two characters from Virginia Woolf's masterpiece Towards the Lighthouse, over the course of a summer, then ten years later.
While the former seeks her happiness in marriage and motherhood, the latter fiercely holds on to her independence to devote her life to painting. Their conceptions of the world seem opposed, but both are enamored of beauty and meaning, and seek to fabricate reality rather than accept it.
A plunge into the relationships between creation, intimacy, space and time, a sensitive score for two actresses.
September: A woman receives a call: her daughter is ill, and she needs to pick her up from school. But when she arrives, instead of rushing to the infirmary, she observes the children playing in the playground. This is the starting point of a reverie in which she brings into play in turn the various characters of this microcosm: the kingpins, the little one, the popular one, the unloved one, the dunce, then imagines the irruption of a mad killer, thus revealing her least avowed thoughts and most destructive fantasies.
A kaleidoscope monologue that illustrates the ambivalence of motherhood and our inability to preserve childhood.
