Pièces Philippe Minyana | | | | "You could say that it's a novel about someone's life. You could also say that it's the end of someone's life. You could call it an exemplary life. So let's say that we're following this despoiled elderly man from place to place, from the time of the scandal (his despoilment) to his fall (when he loses his mind)…
Naturally, there is the moral fable (the story of his life) but there is also the project: how can one bring into play the brutality of this news item (the point of departure) and what could be called the 'magical' side of things (meaning the irrational), the objective report (printed in the newspaper) and the 'mythological' element (the sacrificed figure)? How, through discontinuity, can one bring into play what is true and false, symbolic and ordinary, probable and improbable? Again, theatre is a ceremony in which an inquiry (the news) and the order of things (destiny, fate) are combined without jeopardizing the fluidity or the moral fable."
Philippe Minyana, June 2000
