Des histoires, des vies

Classically trained dancer, award-winning actress, author and even composer... Is it because she has more than one life to her credit that Mathilda May is so curious about the lives of others? Over the course of five plays, she has zoomed in on the day-to-day life of an open space, a delirious wedding banquet or the backstage world of the cinema... Now she's multiplying her output with snapshots from all over the place. A jazz club, a lift, an old people's home, a hunting party... Situations, a host of characters, and every time there's a slip-up in ambush. In a space shaped by light and set to sound by soul musician Sly Johnson, Mathilda May combines clownishly elastic bodies, eloquent gestures that dispense with words and stunning montage effects. A lively tribute to the madness and beauty of our lives!
