Watch a video excerpt read by Pascal Rambert

Short Reviews (In French)

“Les magnifiques clair-obscurs d’Yves Godin, les présences scéniques irradiantes des comédiennes, leurs voix envoûtantes, font de Trois Annonciations, une œuvre à part, une sorte de poème transcendantal où tout est plausible, le plus beau, comme le plus tragique.”
— Olivier Frégaville-Gratian D’Amore, L’Œil d’Olivier

“Au TNB, Pascal Rambert donne naissance à un triptyque prophétique, magnétique et exigeant. S’y entrelacent et s’y confondent les maux des femmes et du monde, dans une veine esthétique d’inspiration castellucienne.”
— Vincent Bouquet, sceneweb

Pascal Rambert, a celebrated French writer, choreographer and director for the stage and screen, heads his own production company, structure production, and is an associate artist of Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris, El Pavón Teatro Kamikaze in Madrid and Théâtre National de Strasbourg in Strasbourg. From 2007 to 2016, he served as artistic director of T2G-Théâtre de Gennevilliers, which he transformed into a national dramatic center for contemporary creation, exclusively dedicated to living artists (theater, dance, opera, contemporary art, film and philosophy).

Rambert’s theater plays and choreographies are now produced by structure production, and are supported by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. His plays are staged in Europe, North America, Asia, Russia, South America and the Middle East. Rambert is the author of more than 25 plays; his international hit “Clôture de l’amour” was translated into 25 languages. In the summer of 2019, he was one of the lead guest-artists at the 73rd Avignon Festival, where he staged a new play: “Architecture.” A Princeton regular, Rambert presented five plays at the festival over the years: “De mes propres mains,” “Clôture de l’amour,” “Le début de l’A,” “L’art du théâtre,” and “Avignon à vie.” In the spring of 2019, as a Belknap Fellow in the Council of the Humanities and Visiting Lecturer in French and Italian, he created “Others” with Princeton students enrolled in the course “Writing, Directing and Acting Others.” In 2016, Rambert received the “Grand prix de l’Académie Française pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre” or “Theater Prize from Académie Française for his entire body of work.”
