À l’article de la mort

Directed by Adrien Barazzone, À l’article de la mort stages a tense newsroom conference where ideological fractures explode amid rumours of a corporate takeover. This claustrophobic, dialogue-driven play pits editorial ethics against institutional power and tests artistic freedom as the finale of Barazzone’s ‘Trilogy of Systems’. Sparse staging and a focused ensemble heighten moral conflict and urgency, offering a hard-hitting examination of truth, responsibility and the cost of dissent.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

What kind of life is this?’ Apparently, that man is me, and that’s my life. I have to tell you about it!”
