SI CE N’EST TOI
The world as it is leaves Edward Bond in a state of rage. From one play to the next, the English playwright restores power to the only weapon remaining against barbarity – imagination. The play takes place on July 18, 2077 in a world where the past has been abolished and where man is reduced to a controlled present. When he does not succumb to the wave of suicides decimating the planet, he wanders through the unspoiled, the immoral and the atrocious.
For the past thirty years, French director Alain Françon has been scaling the heights, reaffirming the need for political theatre that describes the world we live in, theatre that finds meaning in community. Over the past decade he has found in Bond a brother in arms and a fellow combatant, a writer capable of placing characters in inhuman situations where, by experiencing tragedy, they find new meaning to life.
