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.

In French.
