Theatre ‘In Those Days, Love’ by Gilles Segal

Friday 21st and Thursday 27th - 8.30pm: play ‘En ce temps-là, l'Amour’ (In Those Days, Love), a theatrical oddity by Gilles Segal. Directed by Philippe Percot-Tétu and Patricia Petit-Planes. Starring Benoit Guibert, Clotilde Ravart and Jacques Brochard

Synopsis: Z. has just become a great-grandfather. He decides to entrust his son with a memory that is forever etched in his mind: his encounter with a father and his young son on the train that took them into exile. During the journey, unaware of the chaos that is taking hold in the carriage day by day, this father takes advantage of every moment to pass on to his son the essentials of what could have made him a man. Seven days like the creation of the world, a world that this father refuses to see collapse.

The incredible poetry and humour that emanate from this text give the play a strength and emotion of rare intensity. Time spent in love is not time but light.
