« Forêts Paisibles » une pièce de théâtre inédite sur la parentalité

An actress, alone on stage, reads a breakup letter, facing the audience as if facing her mirror.

At the end of her text, the lights go out. Then they softly turn back on to reveal a baby sitting in a bouncer. The audience realizes she was addressing her baby.

From the very beginning of « Forêts Paisibles », the tone is set: never trust appearances. In life as in theater. Playwright and director Emilie Rivenq, joined by six actors, shares through about fifteen situations the struggles, but also the great joys of parenthood. Through writing and staging that toy with audience perception and assumptions.

1h15 of sung, danced, comical, or sometimes more dramatic scenes. Solo or ensemble. Realistic, absurd, or purely symbolic... A kind of kaleidoscope of what parent-child bonds represent today at different stages of life.

With: Audrey Borney, Nicolas Coudray, Lou Coulon, Emma Dancer, Alice Faivre-Finance, Jacques Gignoux.
