La fraternelle - theatre : L'Agrume

La Fraternelle - Theatre
Friday 18 April & Saturday 19 April at 6.30pm
Maison du Peuple, Saint-Claude.

Halfway between literature, exhibition and theatre, L'Agrume chronicles a slice of sentimental life that is as tender as it is piquant.He loves to contemplate the bluish mould on a lemon, he raves about a washbasin stopper... L'Agrume is an everyday aesthete.L'Agrume? That's what Bruno calls himself, a funny, cultured epicurean and the protagonist of a book published in 2001 by the artist Valérie Mréjen. The novel of a one-way relationship between Valérie and Bruno, L'Agrume, re-examined and 'exhibited' by the D.U.R.D.L.E. company, becomes a fascinating guided tour to the very heart of life and memory. Set against a museography of movable walls, a veritable investigation unfolds: post-its, itineraries through the city, extracts from the text... Numerous traces whose discovery is guided by the actress Marie-Bénédicte Cazeneuve. Is she the actress, the narrator, the author...? Are we looking at an exhibition, a show, a book? Elusive Agrume... A touch of melancholy, full of humour, this atypical experience plays on a delicious confusion to remind us that happy or unhappy, love is first and foremost a game...
