Theatre company revisits past performance

Repre­nons, a new production by the Compagnie Théâtre Déplié, explores the concept of repetition in theatre, focusing on how the theatre can engage with our experience of time. The production is based on a 2011 solo performance titled Il est trop tôt pour prendre des dé­ci­sions dé­fi­ni­tives, which the company revisits fifteen years later. The production is neither a literal revival nor a recreation of the original, but rather an exploration that traverses an uncertain archive to create a new experience.

Influenced by Kierkegaard's philosophy

The production is influenced by the reading of La Reprise by Søren Kierkegaard, which examines repetition as a movement forward. The production questions how repeating past events can prepare for future moments and how repetition can carry new elements.

Production dates and locations

The production, which runs from October 13 to 17, 2026, at the Studio-Théâtre de Vitry in partnership with the Théâtre des Quartiers d'Ivry CDN du Val-de-Marne, and from December 15 to 17, 2026, at the Théâtre des 13 Vents CDN Montpellier, is directed by Adrien Béal and written by Arthur Igual. The set design is by Lucie Gau­train, costumes by Elise Garraud, and lighting by Ju­liette Be­san­çon.

Support and affiliations

The production is supported by the Studio-Théâtre de Vitry, where it was created. The company is conventioned by the Ministry of Culture – DRAC Île-de-France and is associated with the Théâtre des 13 Vents CDN de Montpel­lier since 2025 and the Studio-Théâtre de Vitry since 2024.
