BORIS & BOBY
Verbal and singing jousting
based on texts and songs from the repertoires of Boris Vian and Boby
Design: François Rascal and Éric Cénat
Friday, March 24, 2017
K. Pippich Theater - The Small Stage at CHRUDIM
Monday, March 27, 2017
French Institute of PRAGUE
François Rascal sings and accompanies himself on guitar, saz, berimbau or charrango – sorry!
He gives the reply to Eric Cénat, actor, emeritus player of maracas and charming singer in his spare time.
In a game of verbal and singing ping-pong, this improbable and picturesque duo visits the varied universes of Boris Vian, from light or dark poetry to the most ferocious humor.
Then, he devotes himself to the (lawful) pleasures of the virtuosity of the (ugly) puns of Boby Lapointe: his songs but also, less known, surrealist texts which are little marvels to discover.
And the show to end in an astonishing and explosive rap!

Simone has just been run over by a car on her way out of high school, after a rather hectic day. She lies on the tarmac, while passers-by wonder, the police investigate, her mother and her best friend worry... and the stretcher-bearer is still studying the instructions for his kit stretcher_cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_!
Finally the ambulance ! She drives Simone to the hospital where the verdict falls like a chopper : deep coma !
The situation is serious but not hopeless : Simone's five senses, sorry the six senses, decide to do everything possible to give her a taste for life !
Come on ! Get up Simone !!!
Partners : the regions of Pardubice and Center - Val de Loire, the Josefa Ressela Gymnazium, the Chrudim Theater, the Alliance Française of Pardubice and the French Institute from Prague.

Project 2011/2013
11SEPTEMBER 2001
Wednesday, June 19
Pragueau Divadlo Na Pradle - Festival of Languages
Creation of a show in French with a group of students from the Lycée de Svitavy
On September 11, 2001… the world rocked in stupor and dread.
Everyone remembers that day when he was confronted with the extraordinary, the inconceivable ; of this precise moment when he learned The News._cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
As if moved by a sense of urgency, the French playwright Michel Vinaver wrote his play three weeks after the events. He relied on all the documents he had at his disposal at the time : press articles, reports and testimonies in particular.
From there was born a resolutely fragmentary work where the voices intertwine, overlap to better highlight the issues of those who are caught in the turmoil of History.
From there, was born a work dominated by a chorus from which escape characters, direct or indirect witnesses of the catastrophe.
We find here all the aspects of the Ancient Tragedy, a contemporary Trojan War in a way… But Michel Vinaver has added a personal ingredient (a trademark that the found in most of his plays): irony. As if to tell us this… Look, the towers of the World Trade Center are collapsing, innocent people are dying but the business goes on… Slogans and advertisements (chanted in English by the choir) as well as the fake final dialogue between Bush and Ben Laden are there to remind us that cynicism and bigotry are at the heart of our world to the detriment of all humanity.
The Theatre, unlike the cinema, obviously does not have the technical means to represent such a catastrophe but it can, through its emotional force, its evocative power, for the duration of a performance, restore life and voice to these unknown, these anonymous who, one sunny day in September, saw their destiny changed.
" 11 September 2001 " is the fourth show that I stage, in the Czech Republic, with high school students. I designed it as an extension of those previously created in Pardubice : Me, I say NON ! according to " Antigone ” by Jean Anouilh in 2008 ; Je suis le dernier homme… d'après « Rhinocéros » d'Eugène Ionesco en 2009 ; The Route of Agota Kristof in 2011.
These four shows (very freely adapted from the original works) are joined in substance by une thematic commune (Man facing his destiny) and in form by a staging centered on the chorus.
" 11 September 2001 " is played by twelve students from the Gymnazium of Svitavy. They were between six and ten years old at the time of the events…
This show would not have been possible without the precious and essential help of their French teacher, Jirina Bouskova, and the headmaster of the Gymnazium de Svitavy, Milan Baca. I thank them deeply.
This project was born from the friendship between two countries (the Czech Republic and France) and was carried out and financed within the framework of the twinning of the Region of Pardubice (Czech Republic) and the Center Region (France). Eric Cenat

Creation of a show in French with a group of students from Lycée Dasicka in Pardubice
The piece chosen is "Antigone" by Jean Anouilh. Eric Cénat directs the adaptation and the staging.
The workshop is made up of fourteen students who have been learning French for at least two years. They are supervised by their French teachers. The workshop takes place every afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
