To discover and to stage a play: if there is an artist who embodies both of these theatrical gestures, it is Claude Régy. For over half a century now, this "master conveyer", has been tirelessly searching for ways of "helping each of us renew, in a totally autonomous fashion, his and her sensation of the world. », as he wrote in Espaces perdus in 1991. The narrative of "l'Homme sans but", which unravels over nearly thirty years, could be summarized in just a few words, but these words would then betray all of the play's subtlety and secrets. Sober and crystal-clear, Arne Lygre's language (a Norwegian playwright who has a solid reputation in his own country), constructs, through little dabs here and there, a dizziness that is both very concrete and almost metaphysical ; daily banality almost seems to be swimming in the fog of a half-forgotten myth, where the "real", similar to a photographer's studied and "blurred movement", never lets itself be captured without a certain amount of incertitude. Claude Régy's new exploration, is buttressed by exceptional actors, several of whom (Bulle Ogier, Axel Bogousslavsky, Jean-Quentin Chatelain), have been acquainted with his demanding work for years.
