“In classical tragedy there is always a hesitation between pure oratorio and the most unbridled incarnation” says Eric Ruf. Between the rigour of Grüber’s staging of Bérénice and the vital and muscular expression of Chéreau’s Phèdre: truth, if it is to be sought, undoubtedly lies between the two poles of this spectrum of possibilities.
Anyone who has ever performed Racine knows that the most difficult challenge is to enter and move silently towards the middle of the stage before pronouncing the first “Madame”. This silent advance is weighed down with a psychology that has no place here because in this theatre, one only exists by speaking and one dies as soon as one can no longer answer. This formidable function pleads in favour of oratorio.
Patrice Chéreau once gave me a key to the rehearsals of Phèdre, explaining to me that the characters in Racine do not die from hostile circumstances but from their own inner contradictions. The seraglio is therefore internal here, its complexity even greater and confinement an intimate matter. The action is set within a harem, a place of myriad fantasies. The noise of the world, of distant battles, of uncertain returns and unnatural alliances slowly penetrates the thickness of the walls and even more slowly that of the skin to reach the heart, like a being in the womb trying to discern the dull echo of the outside world. The quintessence of Racine’s language is contained in this porosity between the world and its echo within itself. This is the only geography to be studied and combines all Racine’s kingdoms, whether Greek or Ottoman. The language is labyrinthine and the oratorio encouraged by the set design on the Studio Marigny leads us to and obliges us to enter this concentrated study.”
