Britannicus, Compagnie Minuit 44, Mise en scène: Laurent Domingos - Avignon, théâtre Notre Dame (du 4 au 25 juillet 2015)
Une mise en scène très intéressante de Britannicus, avec très peu de moyens. La scène est dominée par une machine infernale qui ancre l'unité de lieu: le piège gigantesque s'ouvre et se referme sur les personnages. Les acteurs sont formidables, surtout Agrippine. La mise en scène donne à voir les silences raciniens: relation incestueuse entre Néron et Agrippine, désirs et fantasmes. Le rideau s'ouvre sur l'enlèvement de Junie, une scène seulement rapportée par Néron mais jamais véritablement montrée. Et le corps de Junie est capturé par des assaillants invisibles...
Seul problème: c'est un spectacle du off, donc limité en temps et l'on n'entend pas tous les vers de Racine...

LOUIS XIV AT THE GETTY (source: frenchculture.org)
Where: Getty Center, 1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles CA 90049
When: June 16 to September 6, 2015
A Kingdom of Images: French Prints in the Age of Louis XIV, 1660–1715
An exhibition featuring works from the life of Louis XIV will be featured at the Getty Museum from June 16 to September 6, 2015.
From grand royal portraits to satiric views of everyday life, and from small-scale fashion prints decorated with actual fabrics to monumental panoramas of Versailles and the Louvre, this exhibition explores the rich variety of prints that came to define French power and prestige in the era of Louis XIV (1638–1715). During the Sun King's long reign, printmakers and publishers effectively deployed prints to promote French culture, art, and style. Commemorating the 300th anniversary of Louis XIV's death, A Kingdom of Images: French Prints in the Age of Louis XIV, 1660–1715features nearly 100 works from the Getty Research Institute and the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
See the Getty's website for more information on this exhibition and on other upcoming exhibitions.
