Seuls en Scène, Princeton French Theater Festival 2018

---

A story on human destiny based on the novel Just Above My Head by James Baldwin. In Harlem Quartet, Hall Montana remembers, recounts and retraces the life of his family and friends, who are part of Harlem’s African-American community in the 1950s and 1960s.

In conjunction with the production Harlem Quartet, the National Dramatic Center Comédie de Caen asked playwright and musician David Lescot to stage a portrait of American singer Nina Simone, one of the formidable artistic figures of the civil rights movement who had dreams of becoming a great classical pianist.

Claire, Anton et eux (Claire, Anton, and them) is the mischievous title director Cervantes gave to this initiatory play, which is an homage to playwright Anton Chekhov and CNSAD, a school whose role is to teach, to understand, to welcome, and to foster and encourage new work.

A stage reading in English of Dough written and directed by David Lescot, presented in partnership with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy

In this unique presentation that demonstrates what happens when text is separated from music, de Chaillé stands offstage and speaks of her lifelong love for rock music while spectators focus on Christine Bombal, who embodies de Chaillé's words onstage. At the end of the simple and precise demonstration, the disturbing conviction emerges that between rock music and theater, theater is perhaps the more wild and free medium.

Doreen is an adaptation, a sort of theft, an attempt between reality and fiction, of the couples’s life and the beloved woman who we never got to know and who will die with him.
