A French theater production based on Ingmar Bergman's Scènes de la vie conjugale (Scenes from Married Life) will open in Rennes in September 2026. The play, directed by Arthur Nauzyciel, brings together Bénédicte Cerutti and Laurent Poitrenaux, who have not performed together on stage in many years. The production explores the evolving nature of marriage and the internal dynamics between partners, set in 1970s Protestant Sweden. The main characters, Marianne and Johan, appear to be a happy, well-adjusted couple with a 10-year marriage, two children, and a beautiful home. However, the play delves into how their relationship begins to break down, revealing the hidden tensions and challenges in their lives. The production features a range of artistic contributions. Constance de Saint-Rémy assists with direction, while Scott Zielinski handles lighting. Riccardo Hernández is responsible for the set design, and Xavier Jacquot oversees the sound. Pierre-Alain Giraud contributes to video production. José Lévy manages costumes, makeup, and hair, with support from Marion Régnier and Mytil Brimeur. Rachel Zekri supervises the physical aspects of the performance. The production is staged by the Théâtre National de Bretagne in Rennes and will tour to other venues, including Le Quai in Angers and La Comédie de Reims. The play is expected to last approximately two and a half hours, providing audiences with an immersive experience of Bergman's original work. The production has been licensed by DRAMA, in agreement with the Bergman Foundation and Josef Weinberger Limited in London, ensuring that it adheres to the rights and standards associated with Bergman's legacy. This adaptation brings a new perspective to Bergman's classic themes, offering a fresh interpretation for modern audiences. The production will be part of a broader cultural initiative, highlighting the continued relevance of classic works in contemporary theater. By staging Scènes de la vie conjugale in France, the production aims to engage new audiences with the themes of love, marriage, and personal identity that have resonated with viewers for decades. The collaboration between the Théâtre National de Bretagne and the various artists involved underscores the significance of this project in the French theatrical landscape.
