The Death of Tintagiles
preceded with « For Anatole’s tomb » by Stéphane Mallarmé
By Maurice Maeterlinck
Preceded with « For Anatole’s tomb » by Stéphane Mallarmé
Stage direction Denis Podalydès Sociétaire de la Comédie Française
Music direction Christophe Coin and Garth Knox
With Christophe Coin, Adrien Gamba Gontard, Garth Knox, Leslie Menu and Clara Noël
The Queen wants Tintagiles and will manage to tear him away from Ygraine, whose resistance, courage and force will not suffice to save the child.
As soon as one stops imagining what one is reading, as soon as one starts seeing instead of glimpsing, as soon as one starts trying to construct – even mentally – a situation on stage, to portray it in a concrete way, one knows well that this exact thing that one tries to show, will shy away and disappear.
That is Maeterlinck’s mystery. And yet all is simple, all is short, does not get further than the edge of the abyss so close to us, the one that we refuse to name, the death, the void, or life. How to inhabit this colourless and brimless area, turn into theatre all that escapes it, enticing it all the while?
