Par Jean-Pierre Thibaudat intimate poem or scenic, or both.

It oscillates between these two terms as Koniec continues to oscillate, without wishing to forage arise, without trying to write the word koniec as he once appeared at the end of Polish films, since finitude inhabits this lament advancing at the speed of a tear that escapes us quietly turning a page of a book like replayed. There were the great masters of the European scene, Strehler Gruber, from Brook in Vitez and Fomenko who were working and still working for some through the prism of major texts written for the theater.

Today Castorf, Lupa, Marthaler Cassiers ownership works, mostly non-theatrical performances to write their "after" such works. Not for use (verb pioneers that were dear to Roger Blin and others) but for them or use. What was already the Polish Tadeusz Kantor

when he said "play with Witkiewicz"

. This is the way Polish Warlikowski in his last performances,

Apollonia

Koniec

and today (I put aside the accident The industry that was Tram ).

Visions and grab

In Koniec , it relies on three works of beloved authors, from whom Warlikowski found part of himself and his story (a phrase, a atmosphere, a character). These texts serve as humus and boxes replicas appear as fragments of an autobiography masked, pierced, diverted. The authors' names will not surprise viewers who follow the French route Warlikowski. In order of appearance: Bernard-Marie Koltes with Nickel Stuff

a 'script for the film "

ever made and published post-mortem

Franz Kafka

two texts

The Minutes

and" The Hunter Gracchus " ;

John Maxwell Coetzee and his novel Elizabeth Costello

. These works Warlikowski pick up where the first material source of scenic views that actors are in motion. Other elements of work play an equally decisive:

sets (and costumes) Malgorzata Szcesniak creating interior windows (transparent walls and giant video screen) as the director likes them; music by Pawel Mykietyn which for many in the climate at the Once quiet, wounded and venomous that moved here and there with outbreaks of lyricism; Denis Guéguin video that offers a field-cons derealizing actors in their presence;

choreography Claude Bardouil that contributes to superb entry in the show.

The show advance and by seizure and visions, far from any narrative constructed logically. Characters come and go, sketch of possibilities, rooted in postures. Warlikowski flips his soul (pass Figures mother, father, lover, oppressor) through an intimate dialogue with works.

Koltès

Warlikowski is for a foster brother,

Kafka

a close friend in whom to confide her fears and nightmares, with Coetzee

he finds a connivance with the character of Elizabeth is a
• artist (she writes) which tracks the invisible
.
In
• Kristian Lupa
whose pupil he was, the actor remains the focal point;

in Warlikowski is

spacetime

in lieu even if its Polish actors are all for rent. This vision leads in

Koniec

fragmentation narrative now openly claimed.

The risk is that the show, with its ellipses, by his confinement on himself, away from the viewer too. Matter of time, play approach. Ironically this show rather long - three hours and forty - do is maybe not enough.
