Notre Dame de Paris
Performed in French with English surtitles
Thursday 29 November - Sunday 1 December 2018
We are proud to present an original adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic 19th-century novel Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) at our new home, La Fabrik!
Set in medieval Paris, this is the story of Quasimodo, the widely-feared bell-ringer at Notre-Dame Cathedral; the orphaned gypsy Esmeralda; and people from all classes of society from beggars to the bourgeoisie. Our production stays true to Victor Hugo with most dialogue taken directly from his text (no Disney musical numbers here!), but we've added our own twists with an original ending and narration by a trio of wise-cracking gargoyles.
With beautiful music, costumes and decor to transport you into another time and place, this new production will enchant French and English speakers alike.
There are five performances only and seats are strictly limited, so book your tickets early to avoid disappointment!

|
The French Theatre and the UWA French Club are staging le Porteur de l'histoire (the Story Keeper), a piece written by Alexis MICHALIK.
The performance will be in French with English surtitles. 9 French actors and 6 Australian actors The Story Keeper invites us to listen to a story about stories, to re-read History and travel through time and space, all thanks to the unlimited power of imagination. Where does reality end? Where does fiction begin? “On a rainy night, in the depths of the Ardennes, Martin Martin must bury his father. He could never have imagined that the discovery of a handwritten notebook would lead him on a dizzying quest across History and the continents and push him to solve the mysterious disappearance of a noble family during the French Revolution. Fifteen years later, in the heart of the Algerian desert, a mother and her daughter mysteriously disappear. They are captivated by the story of a stranger, looking for a pile of books struck by a strange chalice and a colossal treasure accumulated through the ages by a legendary secret society…” Historical mystery, puzzling quest, family story and hypnotic narrative where one crosses paths with Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, Pope Clément VI and Marie-Antoinette, le Porteur d’Histoire by Alexis Michalik received the Moliere of the “Best Living Francophone Author” and the “Best Director” in 2014. |
Le Porteur d’Histoire nous invite à écouter une histoire, des histoires, à relire l’Histoire et à voyager dans le temps et l’espace grâce au pouvoir illimité de l’imagination.
Où s’arrête la réalité ? Où commence la fiction ? “Par une nuit pluvieuse, au fin fond des Ardennes, Martin Martin doit enterrer son père. Il est alors loin d’imaginer que la découverte d’un carnet manuscrit va l’entraîner dans une quête vertigineuse à travers l’Histoire et les continents et le pousser à résoudre une énigme liée à la disparition légendaire d’une famille de la noblesse sous la révolution française. Quinze ans plus tard, au cœur du désert algérien, une mère et sa fille disparaissent mystérieusement. Elles ont été entraînées par le récit d’un inconnu, à la recherche de livres frappés d’un étrange calice, et d’un trésor colossal, accumulé à travers les âges par une légendaire société secrète.” Enquête historique, quête déroutante, histoire de famille, récit hypnotique où l’on croise Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, le pape Clément VI, Marie-Antoinette, le Porteur d’Histoire d’Alexis Michalik a reçu le Molière du meilleur auteur francophone vivant et du meilleur metteur en scène en 2014. |

The performance will be in French with English surtitles. 9 Australian actors and 3 French. "Her name is Antigone and she must play her part to the very end..." Oedipus, king of Thebes, dies in exile and leaves his kingdom to his two sons, Eteocles and Polynices. Unable to share their inheritance, the brothers incite a civil war in which they are both killed by the other's hand. In the days following, Creon, the brother of the incestuous Queen Jocasta, takes the Crown and tries to restore order to Thebes, ordering that his former ally Eteocles receive a state funeral, whilst Polynices' body rots just outside the city walls. Antigone, Oedipus and Jocasta's younger daughter, defies her uncle's orders and sneaks out at night to perform the funeral rites, knowing her act of treason is punishable by death. |
"Elle s'appelle Antigone et il va falloir qu'elle joue son rôle jusqu'au bout..."
Oedipe, roi de Thèbes, meurt en exil et laisse son royaume à ses deux fils, Etéocle et Polynice. Incapable de partager leur héritage, les frères provoquent une guerre civile où chacun meurt de la main de l'autre. Pendant les jours suivants, Créon, le frère de Jocaste, la reine incestueuse, prend la Couronne et essaie de restaurer l'ordre dans Thèbes. Il ordonne que son ancien allié Etéocle reçoive des funérailles nationales, et que le corps de Polynice pourrisse en dehors des murailles de la ville. Antigone, la fille cadette d'Oedipe et Jocaste, défie l'ordre de son oncle et fait le mur à la faveur de la nuit pour réaliser les rites funéraires, en sachant que son acte de trahison sera puni de la peine de mort. |
