Dolores, Amor/Adios mortal I Collectif du Feu de dieu

Conceived and directed by Violeta Hodgers and Sara Uslu, Dolores, Amor/Adios mortal is a one-woman contemporary-clown ceremony of farewell. Written and performed by Violeta Hodgers, the piece balances picturesque grace and exalted tragedy as a diva confronts absurdity and loss. Marion Schmid’s costumes and the dramaturgical work of Sara Uslu shape the character’s final moments, while outside eyes from Pauline Raineri, Emmanuel Gil and Laura Gambarini refine the piece. The tone mixes melancholy, dark humour and theatrical ritual, insisting on life and love.

Influences such as Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Genesis surface without pastiche, creating melancholic, cinematic moments.

Directed by Oscar Gómez Mata and Bastien Semenzato, this staging brings together 16 young performers from La Manufacture’s promotion O to tackle Hamlet in its entirety. Combining tragic force with mordant, absurd humour, the piece explores how the past splashes into the present and how institutions unravel. Using the jeu bouffon — masks, exaggeration and the subversion of power — the ensemble shifts between farce, violent outbursts and intimate doubt as the prince teeters between thought and action.
