Manuel is a building site. A work in progress, a jumble fatras. by Manuel-Arnaud Churin
Manuel on Stage - Lasuite...
At first the author takes us into a manual, written in every language. But a manual has no author, it is anonymous, like some masterpieces of ancient music. Yet in dramatic writing characters are supposed to escape their inventors. Thus the author who seeks anonymity will be over passed. Manuel will become the manual character, he will have a "by himself". Because a speech is embodied the moment it is taken on stage, even when it comes from a manual.
It is therefore a conference, in different languages, in which the subject is from turn to turn books, radio, language, all things to be used according to an instructions book.
It makes us slide in an enunciation of fantasy data and the conference enchants itself with crossings. Sometimes rather linguistic exercice for "Manuel de lalalangue", others rather "Manuel of radio listening (to me)", the text evolves depending of the frames where it is represented, depending on the progress of the work process and its processing(s).
Very concretelly the project can be summarized this way: a handful of actors have decided to accompany Alvaro García de Zúñiga in a process of dramatic writing in progression.
En mai 2009 nous avons progressé dans ce processus, à la Maison de la Poésie, à Paris où Manuel au long de trois jours, nous appris à utiliser la poésie, la musique, le théâtre à la radio qui est le théâtre, qui est la radio en fait, et en fin un manuel de langue un concerto pour conférencier en toutes les langues, presque.
Puis à Lisbonne – carrefour de mondes / une programmation de la Ville de Lisbonne.
