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 traversed the centuries since the Middle Ages. On stage, she undergoes a mysterious interrogation that will shake her identity and that of her character. But who exactly is this interrogation for? What truth is it trying to reveal? Who is speaking, where are we, and in what era?
Through a dual 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 where the forced, manipulated, and exposed narrative is almost impossible. This impossibility refers to the challenge of recounting childbirth, birth as one of the most powerful human expressions that arises far beyond language or coherent narrative.
"Chair de ma chair" is the continuation of a stage and dramaturgical investigation into the figure of the actor and the issue of exposure to which they are linked. Far from considering the theatrical act as logical or natural, this reflection sees the actor as always poised between the expression of intimacy and ostentation that makes their presence mysteriously guilty. On stage, the actor is alone, but does not exist without others; willing, but also forced; they disturb the order of time and space; they are multiple and elusive. These questions are linked here to those of birth, an act that is both deeply intimate and necessarily collective, which each time it occurs, disrupts the order of the world a bit more.
