E No margin of performances during of the night just before the forests, the stage director Brigitte Haentjens and comedian Sébastien Ricard will read texts and present the work of Bernard-Marie Koltes in a meeting with the public, Monday, November 29 at 17h at the bookstore .
"[...] a boy with fire in his body while trying to hold [...] nerves, using all the words before it, that a stranger approached in the street one night when he was alone, only to die. He speaks, speaks frantically as he would love, he says his world: the suburbs where it rains, where we train and work without the factory where yet lurks [...], these streets where one seeks a being or a room for one night for a piece of night, where we made love on a bridge with a girl who will never see again and who is beautiful like a myth, where it bumps into the punks from hunting for raccoons to queers in short, a nocturnal world where he is a foreigner - in fact a metic - and he fled to bumping around in his anguish and his lust for life. [A] lyrical text of a wild and familiar, [a] text is a call, a cry of tenderness. "
Thus Gilles Sandier expressed in 1978, in Politique Hebdo, his wonder for the text of Bernard-Marie Koltes, night just before forests.
Koltès written long ago when signing in 1977 night just before forests. Yet the author says something new in this text. "There is nothing that we could call my natural slopes," as he says himself in one of his letters. Therefore, for Koltes, this piece officially founded his theatrical work, it is the beginning, the very origin.
What is immediately striking in the night is power, the urgency of that. Like a dam that would have yielded, nothing seems to hold the floor. It springs, drains, sinks and runs on nearly sixty pages like an endless stream. For punctuation, commas, semicolons, parentheses and dashes are organizing this surge, whose pace is breathless, frenetic, jerky, restless obsessive thoughts. Spurred on to say, a hidden fragility, reveals itself: the fragility of a man in search of "-someone who is like an angel in the midst of this mess,"
Brigitte Haentjens recalls his encounter with the theater as a shock Koltès love. She mounted Fight negro and dogs at the TNM in 1997 and night just before forests in 1999, defended brilliantly by James Hyndman, in a memorable production of Sibyllines. The stage director was fond of writing this remarkable spirit of revolt that innervates, its themes - loneliness, the quest for self exclusion, difficulty in expressing a request and the impossibility the desire to escape - which join the deep and mark his work so it so powerful.
This affinity with the commitments of Bernard-Marie Koltes, this passion for his work have remained very strong among Brigitte Haentjens desire to recreate the night just before forests. Who else but Sébastien Ricard accomplice and partner development since several years for the challenge?
Sébastien Ricard Actor prodigious energy to squat, exuberant, and capable of milder effusions, Sébastien Ricard said, from one role to another, the dilemma intimate and acute pain that comes from the requirement to live.

With all his enthusiasm and his ability to defend commitment Sébastien Ricard The Night Just Before the Forests , one of the finest instruments on the loneliness of contemporary repertoire.
