Rêves
The impetus is a dream waiting to take shape, imposing a framework, then a situation. In a hotel room somewhere a man sits and writes, as though he were walking in words, developing the fabric of active meditation.
He reflects on speech freed from the constraint of telling a story; on the grandeur of a dream that confronts the ability to give one’s life to one’s beloved; on the place of the artist in society; on the choice or the obligation to write. A dreamlike ambience permeates the story, irrespective of the man who is writing. But then the hotelkeeper drops by, and what she tells him changes the texture of his dreams. A play about writing and questions about writing, performed by eleven actors, a dancer and choreographer Jean Grand-Maître.
