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, a privileged witness to the mysteries of birth who has lived through the centuries since the Middle Ages. On stage, she undergoes a mysterious interrogation that destabilizes her identity and that of her character. But to whom is this interrogation really addressed? What truth is it seeking? Who speaks, where are we, and in what era?
Through this double embodiment—the actress and her role, tested by interrogation—"Chair de ma chair" explores the stage as a place of guilt, as a sort of chamber in which forced, manipulated, and exposed narrative becomes almost impossible. This impossibility refers here to that of speaking about childbirth, birth as one of humanity's strongest expressions that emerges far beyond language or coherent narrative.
"Chair de ma chair" is part of an ongoing exploration of the figure of the actor and the notion of exposure inherent to the stage. Far from regarding the theatrical act as logical or natural, this approach sees the actor as always standing between the expression of intimacy and of ostentation, making their presence mysteriously guilty. On stage, the actor is alone but does not exist without others; is both willing and forced, disrupting the order of time and space. The questions raised are linked here to those around birth, a profound and necessarily collective act that, each time it happens, shakes the order of the world a little further.
