Nouveau Théâtre d’Angers-Centre dramatique national Pays de la LoireArtistic director : Faustin Linyekula
[Congo]
On a split-level set consisting of a dark basement on one level and an old theatre on the other, a group of young African actors decide on the spur of the moment to act out scenes from a book abandoned by the Belgians that is missing a number of pages. Bérénice emerges in snatches in the midst of the stark reality of life in Congo today. The play’s antiquated language competes with political speeches and ads on the radio.
