ENTER THE CREATIVE PROCESS

The second year will be the occasion for the students to be immersed in the creative process under the direction of Elizabeth Czerczuk. This new creation is freely inspired of « L’Idiot » by Dostoïevski and will be developed in 5 months, from September to December, with some students of the school and some professional actors of the Company Elizabeth Czerczuk.
Each stage of the process will be presented at the end of each month in front of the public.
Some students will have the opportunity to be part of the company after this performance.

« The abstract love of humanity is almost always egoism. » (extract of L’idiot by Dostoïevski)

A man appears in the society, the Idiot, totally different, with the one desire to be pleasant, conciliatory and kindly. Does this attitude come from his innocence? His stupidity? Or is it a pathology?

« THE DEATH OF PLATONOV » BY ELIZABETH CZERCZUK, PERFORMANCE FREELY INSPIRED OF THE ŒUVRE OF ANTON TCHEKHOV
Excerpts from Platonov of Anton Tchekhov

Who is this Platonov lost among all these women? A seducer, a perverse Don Juan and a manipulator playing with his preys, these women who persist to love him? Or is he an innocent victim who causes unwanted feelings to the opposite sex? Isn’t he a paradoxical figure, an object of all fantasies and all projections of these women who model him to their own desires? All these hurting souls find themselves in this purgatory, a violent and cathartic place that will allow to find a redemption form.
