I'm going to explain my view about a play that i have seen lately. It called " Le ciel de Nantes" and it's directed by Alex Dupont. He is a quite famouse movie director but I personnaly haven't seen his movies. I went to the theatre without any idea about the plot or the style of the play. Was it based on his movies or not ? Did it tell a story with some great costums ?
When I arrived to the theatre, a paper with the speech of Alex Dupont about his show, was given to the public. In fact, it's a autobiographic spectacle that talks about his mother's family. He explains in the document, that he was a bit obsessed by this part of the family when he was a child and it still the case even if he is no longer a child anymore.
At this moment, as a spectator, it's easy to make a connection between this obsession and the title "Le ciel de Nantes" because it's the town where he used to visit that part of the family. It was a complete new world for him every time that he came. Indeed all the personn who constituate the family were special with a deep story.
Now it's time to ended that travel in the past, the light are off, the show is going to begin.
The action takes place in an old cinema, probably during the night. Five characters are present on the stage, Alex Dupont, played by a young actor, and fiew members of his family. His own mother, grand mother, oncles and aunt. He regrouped them here in order to show them a movie wich is suppose to talk about each of them. In fact it appear quite quickly that there is no movie at all. He plans to bring them on the stage to talk about there lifes and more specially about how did they ended.
Yes you read it correctly, four of the six characters who will appear on stage, are dead. That's why the director need to create a play if he want to try to get who were they. During the two hours and half of the show, every characters explain the tragical way that they take with some references to History like the war in Paris for exemple.
After every tragical scene, some performances are played by the characters. It create some break in the sadness wich is really appreciate, as a member of the audience. Thanks to that variety of scene, I completly enjoy "Le ciel de Nantes" which was a real experience. The show let me in tears but gratefull for that moment.
