Even if they are rooted in the reality and make a great use of documents and archives, these plays set up compositions that leave room for fiction, and whose stories unfold in the intimacy of small human groups: a family, a group of friends, a theater company. Therefore, they create a kind of micropolitics where emotions, dreams, testimony and sometimes autofiction serve as a support for the formulation of claims that will then go beyond the walls of the theater. |
