Exit Cyrano Cyrano de Bergerac is now closed. What a great adventure! First team of actors and actresses that surrounded me on this: tradespeople, generous and talented wish that were always there to encourage me when I was feeling a little less in shape . Then the show itself, so much fun to make and really well established even though, until the end notes game director was still needed to improve it. Who knows if there will be another new show of the tour in 2009? We expect confirmation of the Theatre du Trident, but I hope so.
Thus ends so that the year 2008 was particularly busy. I want a little less, in fact, 2009 even if the beginning of the year also promises to be eventful. We'll see. All in good time. I just love being on stage and play I'm afraid of being bored to death the day it all stops.
Happy holidays to everyone and good 2009!
... and 50! Between four chairs We have surpassed the 50 performances of Cyrano de Bergerac here in Ottawa. The work of conquest remains the same: titanic over again night after night. I admit that it can be exhausting in the long run and it can be difficult to conduct. Is that the public who attended a performance of Cyrano de Bergerac had such expectations! In Quebec, it was easier because the public had the Trident in its majority a little idea of how the show would be made: most viewers have seen me play and knew just what to expect. On tour, it's so different, because I'm not a known actor, because I'm only 35 years because that role seems at first sight, designed for players with more ego otherwise stated The perplexity is required. And it exhausts me a bit. Those who accept the outset to rely on our sincere team will see that there's fire, but some remain with these preconceived ideas and it seems useless. Not to mention the student groups in which certain elements do not really perturbate we yawn or belch in the face. I'm going to need a little rest to let it all fall because of fatigue - physical and mental - is beginning to be felt seriously.
We just returned from a good portion of the tour. We met with strong public different from those spontaneously grateful and delighted that we moved so far away (Saguenay Sept-Iles) audiences skeptical to learn that a gang of Quebec without known actors (ie remain constant not on TV) had managed to climb without too much concession that monument of what drama Cyrano de Bergerac . Such was the case in Longueuil even though our show - at least in the adult version - me seemed particularly successful. The two-week break will be good for the whole team. To those who, like me, have two small "moxes" at home and others who maintain active social lives here in Quebec. Finally we will complete our 2008 tour through the dissemination of the show in Ottawa at Wajdi Mouawad, the Centre National des Arts. It promises. For my part, I continue with so The PSYCHOMATON . The first is next Wednesday. I was told that there remain good tickets and I can not recommend you to come and attend one or another of our performances. This is a very good show, an original creation and crisp. Otherwise, I finish learning the text Tesman in Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen presented in January at the Theatre Bordered and I started that Donatien Marcassilar Asylum in the purity of Claude Gauvreau, presented at the Théâtre du Trident in March. Two large pieces, very different, two beautiful seemingly intractable problems which I know for the moment all the ins and outs even if repetition of Hedda Gabler are already well under way and that, under the careful direction of Lorraine Côté, we gradually understand all the issues. Finally, I am very proud of the honor that you gave me last week when he handed me the Paul-Hébert interpretation for the role of Cyrano. After the price of the Théâtre du Trident Subscribers for the same role and the critics' award given to the whole team, I think we were particularly spoiled so far by this incredible adventure.
Makeovers! I was tired of seeing my picture on this page casting, I have too look like I'm not. I much prefer this lovely picture of my friend Mario Villeneuve - videographer - where I was recognized by Ms. Rivard, lonely old woman, earthy character of many of the production The PSYCHOMATON Anne-Marie Olivier room as we return for two weeks of performances at the Theatre Periscope Quebec from November 26 to December 6. Even if we got our share of success in the creation, the option has been taken to lighten the room of about twenty minutes and to simplify la forme. Les superbes répliques de notre auteure n'en ressortiront que mieux. Relooking donc là-aussi.
La tournée de Cyrano de Bergerac va bon train. Après Montmagny mercredi (super accueil !), nous serons à Saguenay ce soir. C'est particulièrement stimulant de faire de la tournée dans l'est et le nord de la Province : les spectateurs y sont vraiment avides de propositions originales et ils sont particulièrement généreux. Cela donne toujours de belles rencontres et c'est un tantinet plus romantique que la grande banlieue asphaltée de boulevards de Montréal...
Un bonjour tout particulier à Dario Larouche (lesclapotisdunyoyo2.blogspot.com) et à tous ceux qui l'accompagneront ce soir !
The tour of Cyrano de Bergerac Nous terminons présentement notre troisième semaine de tournée de la pièce Cyrano de Bergerac présentée d'abord au Théâtre du Trident de Québec dans une mise en scène de Marie Gignac en mars dernier. Nous sommes passés déjà par Trois-Rivières, Saint-Jean-sur-le Richelieu, Lasalle, Rimouski, Laval et Sherbrooke. Le défi est toujours le même : conquérir un public plus ou moins acquis et parvenir à l'émouvoir avec cette extraordinaire histoire d'amour. Dans la morosité automnale d'un entre-deux-élections sur fond de crise économique, Cyrano de Bergerac may be the perfect antidote. Our next stop will be at St. Theresa tonight October 31 at St. Leonard Sunday night, Sept-Iles on November 5 in Montreal North on November 9, Montmagny November 12, at Saguenay November 14 and November 21 in Longueuil. We will also be in Ottawa from December 9 to 13 and will end this tour with some glorious performances in Quebec, 16, 17 and 18 December. It will be a pleasure to meet you in either of these places.
Hara-kiri The people of this country prefer to rely on a politician could not be more ambiguous as in the image that emerges in what he says in a language not their own in addition rather than rely on all of his own artistic community, poets architects. One could almost speak of a collective hara-kiri if the term exotic does not imply death. But there's a bit of that: it gets rid of his guts, leaving only the envelope fake, useless. The comparison ends here because in this ceremonial act was always recognized the magnitude of the gesture, the courage that requires its own sense étripage. This could even be galvanizing. Here, no guessing contempt, self-denial and it is much more akin to someone putting his head in the oven ... Please forgive me these morbid images but they haunt me now. Otherwise, everything is fine. Elvire Jouvet 40 begins its final stretch. Critics are very good, the reception and there is also fine tickets. Periscope Theatre in Quebec City until October 4.
