“The idea that you were writing for your daughter inspired you”, the publisher Hetzel commented to Hector Malot in relation to Sans famille (Without Family), which was a worldwide success when published in 1878.
For Léna Bréban, who recently directed Verte after Marie Desplechin, this coming-of-age novel is an opportunity to open a great storybook and to use the magic of theatre to follow Rémi across France and as far as England.
Taken in at birth by Mr Barberin, he is raised in love by his adoptive mother until he is eight years old when, crushed by debt, Barberin decides to rent him to Vitalis. This travelling artist, an eccentric but benevolent man, becomes his tutor. Rémi then joins the acrobat’s small troupe along with the dog Capi and the monkey Joli-Coeur – respectively played here by an actor and a puppet. From lucky encounters to misadventures, he finds himself in the home of the criminal Garofoli, who forces a group of children to work for him, but fortunately he remains there for a short time. After an amazing stay with his real-fake family, the Driscolls, who are fences for stolen goods, he and his new best friend Mattia manage to find his biological mother, from whom he was stolen in an inheritance dispute.
Without sugar-coating the story, theatre gives a colourful twist to the young hero’s adventures. In a burlesque, Charlie Chaplin-like spirit, emotion and laughter take us on a journey buffeted by snowstorms and social injustices – which Hector Malot fought against in his lifetime. Léna Bréban is aware how much a tale of yesteryear can let us take a different view of the people whom exile forces to sleep in our streets. Rémi also reminds us of the importance, beyond the family, of the many encounters in life that help us grow.
Show for all ages from 8 years old.
