Elle voulait mourir et aller à Paris, Joachim Latarjet
Paris / France

The music theatre piece "Elle voulait mourir et aller à Paris" (She wanted to die and go to Paris), written by Alban Lefranc and directed by Joachim Latarjet, is about the burden of family as well as exile. Latarjet, whose mother is of Greek and father of French descent and who grew up in France, knows little about his Greek culture.
To write this theatre fiction about family mythologies, a support for writing the script, Latarjet travels to Greece, interviews his family and thus puts together the puzzle pieces of his life.
For the director, the aim of this play is not to tell his story, but "what it conveys". A family play with music and dance in which the shiny black VARIO dance floor, chosen together with lighting designer Léandre Garcia Lamolla, plays the leading role.

Project

For the simple and plain stage design of the music theatre piece "Elle voulait mourir et vivre à Paris", which tells its own story, Joachim Latarjet as well as Léandre Garcia Lamolla decided to use our shiny dance carpet VARIO. This carpet, jet black like "the limbo of memory", as Léandre Garcia Lamolla says, reminds us of the confusion that each of us sometimes faces regarding our origins.
Reflection plays a role in this play. For the reflection, here played by the carpet, seems to us to be identical with reality. In reality, however, we see the opposite. Because of these characteristics of reflection and the deep black colour, the director chose our shiny carpet VARIO in black, which guarantees a play of light.
The light and thin carpet VARIO glossy also offered technical advantages that were perfect for this play, as it could be quickly dismantled and easily installed.
