The theatre, which seemed not to ask many political issues, wakes up. The show derived from the book by Patrick Ourednik, "europeana", by Laure Duthilleul, wondered: the 20th century there was a sense This European diving aligns the more disparate facts, of the intimate lives of the leaders in the fall of the Berlin wall, flattening all information for better laughs a history as a compass that never found the North. The talent of the two young actors playing speakers, Jonathan Manzambi and Sharif Andoura, is this undocumented historical facts a gratifying "deconstruction".
But, when theatre authors illuminate the history that we have experienced, it is even more heartening. With "Rock' n ' roll", created in Nice, Tom Stoppard, the greatest English author with Pinter, traces the 1970-1990 decades have changed Europe from Prague to London. At Prague, Dubcek faces dissent that will embody Havel, Kundera and, above all, the Group Rock The Plastic People of the Universe. Cambridge, Czech exiles closely follow the events and operate a traffic ideas and objects. One continues to believe in Marxism; another, younger, will return to his homeland, suffer the wrath of the police and participate in the Charter 77 movement.

In "Rock' n ' roll", changing constantly city. Strong staging of Daniel Benoin gets drunk such difficult and, with the help of treadmills transbahutant sets and actors, propels exhibit in his frenzied truth. Projections and the omnipresence of a rock formation, the Gipsy Queens, are also involved in this outbreak who knows to stop when the meditation and melancholy arise. A remarkable actor, Frédéric de Golfiem, gives the fresco a fine nervous anxious, surrounded with many partners, including Pierre Vaneck and Maruschka Detmers, excellent in a dual role. It is one of the great performances on our time.
Marseille, the great men are staged. "De Gaulle in may" reveals not only the illustrious General, but his immediate entourage during the may 68. There are then Georges Pompidou, then Prime Minister, Christian Fouchet, Pierre Messmer, Minister of the Interior and one that takes strings, Jacques Foccart. This is in Foccart, in his "Journal of the Elysée, Jean-Louis Benoit picked up the greatest material of his political farce. De Gaulle procrastinates. The rise of the challenge takes short and his advisors were too conventional thoughts to this unprecedented revolt. By playing on the profound France of Gaulle, everyone knows, finally found the parade.
Guignolesque comedy
Benoit is a satirist-born stage director. It has already brought to performing the ceremony of the wishes of Mitterrand, comments from the media on the Gulf war... He made these sshrcc days a guignolesque comedy where the characters are threatened in the end, the closet, or rather in the cabinets that slide on the scene with a lightness of ballerinas. Each actor is draped in a comic dignity: Jean-Marie Frin lead nicely embodies a de Gaulle tense on its truths. The show, as any comic without emotion, a little patina when words are repeated. Fortunately, the last scene relaunching the mechanics of malices box.
In a completely different register, at Saint-Denis, "Electronic City" of the German Falk Richter, pin the modern world as the economy redraws. For businessmen, as to the vendors, all is submission to markets, barcodes, to airport schedules. Political thinking is more than about Baudrillard to vaudeville! In any case, it is the affirmation of the style of a young Director, Cyril Teste, and a team focused on the manufacture of a show of rare intelligence.
