Trois contes et quelques

Theatre - Duration 1h10 - From age 12

A rereading of the fables of our childhood to dissect the adults we have become.

Charles Perrault's fairy tales continue to be passed down from generation to generation, but the antics of a particular singer or the stories of a particular influencer have recently given them fierce competition.

So why not revisit the storylines and invariants of the 17th century by adding contemporary figures and confronting them with the issues of our time? Within a narrow perimeter cordoned off with tape (like a building site or crime scene) and under the imperturbable gaze of a third thief wearing a wig and perched on his throne (Charles Perrault himself?), two actors have fun, in a language that is incisive, biting, sometimes crude and always mischievous, setting the clocks of Peau d'Âne or Bluebeard to today's time. With their constant references to current political and social events, these Three Tales deconstruct our mythologies, and come close to what Barthes was doing in the 1950s - only much more hilarious...
