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 crossed the centuries since the Middle Ages. On stage, she undergoes a mysterious interrogation that shakes her identity and that of her character. But who exactly is this interrogation addressed to? What truth is it seeking? Who is speaking, where are we, and in which era?
Through a double incarnation—the actress and her role—challenged by the interrogation, "Chair de ma chair" explores the stage as a place of guilt, where the forced, manipulated, and exposed narrative becomes nearly impossible. This impossibility reflects the challenge of narrating childbirth, birth as one of the most powerful human expressions that emerges beyond words or a coherent story.
"Chair de ma chair" extends a scenic and dramaturgical exploration of the actor's figure and the question of exposure to which they are linked. The reflection addresses the actor as always situated between the expression of intimacy and ostentation, making their presence mysteriously guilty. On stage, the actor is alone but does 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 connected with those of birth, an act that is both deeply intimate and necessarily collective, which unsettles the order of the world each time it happens.
