The Little Boy with a bird shadow
CDN - Théâtre National de Nice (Salle des Franciscains)
It is the story of Abezou’ch, a little boy who lives alone with his grandmother Gazella at the edge of the desert. All his people left town. Focused by grief, he discovers a beautiful day that his shadow has a form of bird. Affiliated first, he turned to hide it. But every evening, when approaching the night, the shadow of the bird fell. One night, he starts flying...
Whipped by the power of her pen, Muriel Mayette-Holtz ordered the author Anne Sibran to write a text to the young audience. Convinced that a youth show must be made of mysteries, they imagine together a subtle and sensitive piece, while playing shadows and silhouettes.
IntentionIt will be a question of these encounters, with the beast, with the strange, which upset us, amplify us and forever change our eyes on the living.Anne Sibran
I met Anne Sibran’s writing with “I’m the beast,” and I immediately felt how this author is a sculptor of words – words of emotion, sensation, breath. I have always dreamed of working with her, so close to nature, singular, so free. I press that she knows the stories better than anyone, and that her gaze on life can lead us, with sensual simplicity, to the very heart of world history. So I asked him to write a piece about dreams, about childhood, for childhood. Because it is our first years that shape our imagination, our vital strength and our trust. She offered me a journey between the shadow and the light, in a form that I discover alongside her: being a visualist of words, it may be his power, and that is how I want to follow it.Muriel Mayette-Holtz
