Several notable performances are set to take place in the coming weeks across various French theatres. Arthur Nauzyciel, before handing over his position as director of the Théâtre National de Bretagne on December 31, will stage Scènes de la vie conjugale from September 29 to October 9 at TNB in Rennes. The play features Laurent Poitrenaux and Bénédicte Cerutti portraying Marianne and Johan, exploring the themes of marriage through their characters' breakdown.
Jean Bellorini is adapting the novel Alone in Berlin into a play titled A Small Matter, which will run from September 29 to October 17 at the Théâtre National Populaire in Villeurbanne. The play is based on Hans Fallada's novel about Otto and Anna Quangel, a couple who resist the Nazi regime by writing anti-Hitler messages on postcards after losing their son in the war.
Arnaud Desplechin, continuing his collaboration with the troupe of the Français, will present La Musica deuxième from September 30 to November 11 at the Comédie-Française (Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier) in Paris (6th arrondissement). The play, inspired by Marguerite Duras, follows a couple meeting again in Évreux after their divorce, with Alexandre Pavloff and Adeline d'Hermy expected to showcase their talents.
Additionally, Bruno Geslin's 9 minutes 43 will be performed from October 6 to 15 at the Théâtre de la Cité in Toulouse. The play features seven actors from the CDN de Toulouse troupe who will run through the entire work of Godard at a brisk pace, aiming to converse between generations of theatre.
