Agathe and Alban are about to marry in August 1914 when war breaks out and separates them. All they have left are these letters that they exchange, him from the front, her in the back. But how to describe the unspeakable? The violence of war on the one hand, and the difficulty of everyday life on the other?
The historical drama "Par-delà les tranchées" evokes, both in the rear and on the front, the first nine months of a war that will last four years.
Comedian(s):
Éléa Grégoire (Agathe): she trained first in theatre and then in musicals, before becoming interested in directing. Éléa then developed a double cap of performer and designer, staging several projects, including "Le Cours de trop" or "Le Loup des archives", and writing her own pieces. She has been playing for two years in the crazy comedy "Get me out of there", success at the Festival d'Avignon 2024 and 2025, now on tour throughout France.
Clément Hassid (Ernst / Philippe / Pierrot): it passes with skill from one register to another. He is found in classical theatre with Antigone (for which he is nominated at Les P'tits Molières for the best male supporting role), "Iphigénie en Tauride" at the Edinburgh Festival, "Les Fourbéries de Scapin", and many others; but also in successful comedies such as "Do not love kids" or "I love you Italian style". Recently, he was on the poster, at the Comédie Bastille, of a creation written by Marc Tournebegg and directed by Julien Alluguette, "The Affaire Corneille-Molière".
David Lustyk (Alban): he discovered the scene at the age of eleven by playing in the musical "Carousel" at the Théâtre du Châtelet. Since then, he has continued his artistic adventure as an actor, singer and pianist on different stages, moving from Disneyland Paris on the show "Frozen" to the Yiddish drama "Le Dibbouk", from comedy to drama.
Mathilde Morin (Françoise): she has been mixing history, genealogy and theatre since 2018 with the one-in-one "The Thief of Memories", the comedy "The Course of too much" or the children's comedy "The Wolf of the Archives", recently nominated for the Cyranos as the best young audience show 2025. She now carries the project "Par-delà les tranchées", her great-grandfather having served, like Alban, in the 82nd Infantry Regiment.
