French, 75 minutes
Director: Florence Bermond
Playwright: Harold Pinter |
Democracies gathers several texts written by Harold Pinter: short plays, sketches as well as poetry from his War Collection. The performance, which draws from a cast of diverse origins, mobilizes all the senses while proposing a universe between the borders of theatre, dance and cinema. The different personalities and cultures of the cast feed the dramaturgic construction and open up a universal dimension. Pinter’s words are pronounced in several languages, creating a kind of global echo that aims at becoming a polyphony appealing to freedom. Beauty joins atrocity; nonsense and absurdity get mixed up with violence, while the corrosive humor of Pinter denounces the barbaric modernity, thought manipulations and dysfunctions of the contemporary world. |
