Le Marin d'eau douce Joël Jouanneau | | Photo:Phil Journé |
| | | « A child from Pré-en-pail with no first name is terribly bored. One fine day he decides to make himself scarce. Thirsty for adventure, he decides to row up the river, saying: ‘Take me to the sea! As fast as can be!’. He encounters many obstacles along the way and is soon swept away by the waves, like the heroes in stories by Jack London, Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson. Despite all obstacles our barefoot Ulysses finally makes it back to Pré-en-pail through sheer force of will, but everything has changed for him. He is no longer a child and has been given a strange first name, Ellj, after much hard work and agony. » Joël Jouanneau |
| « Whether ‘for children’ or for ‘adults’, all ten of his plays so far revolve around the central theme of childhood and origins. He is a compulsive reader and writer who needs to make frequent visits to the tormented and unpredictable world of children. This year he has given us a ‘pirate comedy’ written at his retreat on an island off Brittany far from the madding crowd. »
