Le Soir de la générale Claire Béchet | | www.la-barraca.net - Anny Romand |
| | | It’s the evening of the dress rehearsal and the performance didn’t go well for her. She decides to go home. Her heels pound the cobblestones. Behind her echoes the sound of a man’s steps. He stops in front of the door to her building. She hesitates, goes up the stairs to the sixth floor, turns the key in the lock, and lets the man into her life. The door closes on her feelings of fear mixed with curiosity, of repulsion mixed with attraction. From that point on, there’s nothing left to do but experience this parenthesis – until the man disappears, with no reason or explanation. |
| “A spellbinding play by Claire Béchet, made even more so by the simple and static staging. Everything is in the words and the narrative. The text takes you into another world – the character’s – through clear and precise writing. Conscious in her idleness, and rejecting rationality, the woman responds to desires that are not her own, but have been imposed on her; unless – and there is some doubt here – she is only following her own attraction.”
