Chair de ma chair (Camille de Bonhome)

After a very long tour, an actress prepares to play her last major role: that of a midwife, privileged witness to the mysteries of birth, who has traversed the centuries since the Middle Ages. On stage, she undergoes a mysterious interrogation that shakes her identity and that of her character. But to whom, exactly, is this interrogation addressed? What truth is it seeking? Who is speaking, where are we, and at what time?
Through a double incarnation – the actress and her role, tested by the interrogation – 'Chair de ma chair' explores the stage as a place of guilt, a sort of chamber in which a forced, manipulated, and exposed narrative is nearly impossible. This very impossibility is linked to describing childbirth, birth as one of the most powerful human expressions, going far beyond language or coherent narrative.
'Chair de ma chair' extends a stage and dramaturgical research on the figure of the actor and the question of the exposure to which they are bound. Far from considering the theatrical act as logical or natural, this reflection considers the actor as always situated between intimacy and ostentation, making their presence mysteriously guilty. On stage, they are alone but do not exist without others; they are willing, but also forced; they disturb the order of time and space; they are multiple and elusive. These questions are represented here in connection with those of birth, an act both deeply intimate and necessarily collective that, whenever it occurs, disrupts the order of the world a bit more.
