Histoires post-it
ou On est bien peu de chose quand même !
The text originates from a commission by theater producer Johanny Bert (Théâtre de Rosette) to multiple authors such as Emmanuel Darley, Perrine Griselin, Sophie Lannefranque, Fabienne Mounier, and Chantal Péninon. He requested them to write "short and insolent stories on the little troubles of life," to speak about “consumption; disposable objects and people." The staging uses, as the title suggests, post-it notes that stand for the different characters. Our modes of functioning and thinking are presented in an hyperbolic way, through the landscape of a dystopian-looking society, which anonymizes particularities, tramples on feelings, and throws identities in the trash.
Humans are as expandable as paper
The collection brings together small stories or short heterogeneous dialogues, everyday or absurd scenes on various themes: family, school, work, social conflicts, justice, war, mendicancy, etc. The human turns out to be disposable, just like crumpled paper is.
First performance
Scène Nationale of Clermont-Ferrand, directed by Johanny Bert (Théâtre de Romette).
