La Première Fois
Director * Denis Maillefer
Synopsis
"The First Time" is about moments in our everyday lives, those "first times" in life both simple and moving, egocentric and universal. Each performance is different, driven by the actors and actresses interpretative energy, individuality, and personalities. The actors and actresses appear on stage in an impromptu order; there are no prior agreements. Little by little, this builds into a complex chorus, in which words overlap and voices intermingle. These stories, true or imagined, tell of unspectacular events, which nevertheless our lives hinge on, revealing in the process a variety of images, sensations and emotions.
