Nathalie Fillion - "On our mind"

Link to biography of Nathalie Fillion
Biography of
Nathalie Fillion
"We will sing when we can no longer speak, we will dance when words no longer have meaning. There will be totally written silent scenes. As for music, I need its vibrations to enter the flesh of emotions through a door other than that of words. More than ever, I need its energy, its evocative power, to try to grasp the chaos of the world that is ours, and get through it safe and sound. I need her to write the unspeakable."
NF

Stéphane Olivié Bisson / Jérémy Lopez - "Max"

Biography of
Stéphane Olivié Bisson / Jérémy Lopez
Max Linder was one of the most important creators of what was not yet called the ≪ Seventh Art ≫ and which before him was still regarded as a fairground attraction. He was the very first universal entertainer. Without him we would probably not have liked the comedy of Keaton, Harold Lloyd or Chaplin, who also called him "my teacher". Because like all masters and discoverers, Max Linder had emulators, imitators and pale plagiarists. All learned from the alphabet of light that Max Linder had traced on the film. Neither vaudeville nor Music-Hall but for the first time cinema!

Les Baladins du Miroir - "The Spirit Bearer"

Biography of
Baladins du Miroir
Les Baladins du Miroir - "The Spirit Bearer"
After 40 traveling years of creation, the company is wondering about it, looking back at the distance they've covered, recollecting the high points of their history, their joys and their troubles. Of course, the company has earned itself a reputation of true popular theater, but it remains, nevertheless, a small firm which must adapt itself to the evolution of our society, to the stakes of a future that, according to a lot of people, looks like it's going to be the terrific stump of an out of breath consumer society...


The Spirit Bearer
from a text by Jean-Pierre Dopagne
Direction Gaspar Leclère
Music Line Adam

With musicians and circus performers from the Baladins du Miroir troupe

Pierre Pradinas - "Farces and Short Stories - Tchekhov"

Pierre Pradinas - Biography
Pierre Pradinas
Biography
Pierre Pradinas - "Farces and Short Stories - Tchekhov"
For a long time I've been thinking of the farces by Chekhov. I dreamed I could present them in singular, selected places that were not necessarily dedicated to theater: Trestels, squares, castles, gardens, open-air places, front of churches, village halls. I have chosen three plays: The Harm done by Tobacco, The Marriage Proposal and The Bear. Chekhov,of course, is particularly good at them: they are aimed at a vast audience and, at the same time, as deep and ambitious as his great plays...
