Sérieux - pas sérieux

"On the stage, actors and actresses play, must play. Must be able to play. Must know how to play."

Sylvain Creuzevault didn't want to make this book. He wanted to. So he played the game just as he deflected it. He warns, "This is not an interview, it's a lie."

To move forward, a "serious - not serious" discourse: deep, serious statements that a remark turns on its head, an obvious statement that a doubt thwarts, a joke that experience confirms. From this interview emerge lines of force and a few professions of faith on the craft of theater, the relentless desire to make life exciting, the legacy of Jacques Lecoq, rehearsals, the contradictory dynamics imposed by the profession... And, at the heart of this conversation, an obsession: the art of actresses and actors, what it enables, what makes it possible.
