ACTING OUT LOUD ​2
August 23

Lecture à la table 
Picture
The new reading-aloud session is on Friday, 23 August, at 6 pm at Canning Bridge Space.

We are pleased to invite you to discover Marius, by Marcel Pagnol, the play that we have decided to stage in November. This evening, we will share the first stages of our work with you by reading the play and discussing the creative process. This will be an opportunity to discuss our inspirations, our artistic choices and any challenges that we may encounter. All your questions and comments will be welcome because we wish to create an enriching dialogue around this future production.
​

Join us to experience the beginnings of this theatrical adventure! Places are strictly limited, so be quick to book.

Synopsis: The port of Marseille, in the twenties. Marius, the son of César, owner of the Marine bar, is torn between his love for Fanny, the little shellfish seller, and his desire to go to sea, to travel the world...

When Marcel Pagnol, in 1929, had Marius performed on a Parisian stage, he probably did not suspect that his characters would become as famous as Harpagon or Monsieur Jourdain.

«Quand tu me parles sur ce ton, quand tu m'espinches comme si j'étais un scélérat...
​Je ne dis pas que je vais pleurer, non, mais moralement, tu me fends le coeur.»

Lecture du Visiteur, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Join us behind the scenes for our Lecture à la table. Reading at the table never fails to excite us. As we immerse ourselves in reading aloud for the first time, we delve into discussions about the story, the characters, and our emotional reactions. It is a moment that we want to share with you.

We welcome you at 6 pm with drinks and nibbles. (See the schedule of the night below)

Reading of LE VISITEUR, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt.
Résumé: Juin 1938. Les troupes hitlériennes viennent d'envahir l'Autriche. Dans Vienne occupée, Sigmund Freuc, vieux, malade, persécuté, inquiet pour le sort de sa fille Anna, découvre que derrière l'énigmatique visiteur qui le surprend dans son appartement se cache peut-être une incarnation de Dieu.
