Norma Jeane Baker de Troie

Directed by Maya Bösch, Norma Jeane Baker de Troie reimagines Anne Carson’s rewriting to overlap Sparta, New York and Hollywood in a fierce theatrical inquiry into power, domination and representation. Barbara Baker and Victor Roy embody multiple figures in a volatile, multilayered staging, propelled by incisive scenography and explosive physicality. Édouard Louis’s translation sharpens the text’s contemporary edge. An accessible summary in easy French is provided on the production page.

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.
