À propos
Too old to continue cultivating his land, Father Fouan resigns himself to giving it to his three children. In a farming world facing the burgeoning industrial revolution, the family finds itself at odds with each other. Anne Barbot reveals the Shakespearean dimension of Zola?s work, while retaining its realistic force. Striking!
By adapting the 15th volume of the Rougon-Macquart series, La Terre, the director decided to turn her attention to the rural world. The writer?s text has a surprising, almost theatrical dramatic power.
Eight actors take to the stage in a farmhouse. Of course, this is no longer a novel. Like the audience, they experience each event with full force, creating a show of rare vitality. Generational conflicts, farm choices, we plunge into the intimacy of this clan, their love of the land and their desire for independence. The story reveals both the generosity and the harshness of the peasantry. Émile Zola?s talent for writing strikes and caresses!
And just like him, Anne Barbot is keen to show people who are not the expected heroes of literature: the invisible ones. The kind of lively spectacle we love, weaving a striking parallel between the agricultural situation of the 19th century and that of today. The force of this timeless writing and the deeply moving performance of the actors invite us to experience an exceptional moment of theater.
