WHAT I CALL FORGETTING
How can someone die for no reason? Inspired by a true story, this poignant monologue tells the story of a daily violence that is often ignored. Accompanied by a musician, the narrator, played by Luc Schiltz, seizes on this tragedy to grasp its mechanisms and understand the origins of a violence that seems to be omnipresent in our society. By plunging us into the victim’s mind, sharing both his memories and his final moments, he entrusts us, like a responsibility, with the memory and painful humanity of this man. In her nuanced staging of Laurent Mauvignier’s text, Sophie Langevin places the spotlight on her actor’s dazzling talent. Attempting to put words to the unthinkable, Luc Schiltz draws us into a sublime ode to fraternity that touches us to our very core.
