La Joie - Salle Réjane

& Arts Live LA JOIE From October 1st, the Théâtre de Paris welcomes a brand new creation to the Salle Réjane: La Joie. A text by Gilles Treton Directed by Patrick Catalifo Starring Anne Benoît, Patrick Catalifo, Raphaëline Goupilleau and Gilles Treton Duration: 1h15 A mother lives with her unemployed son. The two of them survive together without complaining about their destitution. Yet the rawness of their words reflects the anger that lives within them, ever-present, like a travelling companion. Their relationship is harsh and sarcastic. The annual visit from the brother who fled this world – the one who "made it" – and his wife disrupts this daily routine. The couple invites the mother to Brittany. She returns from the trip humiliated and wounded. Suddenly, this defeated mother and this failed son look at each other differently, brought together by a tenderness they never suspected. At the heart of the play, two emotions clash: anger and joy. The former runs through the characters, isolating them; it is a source of misunderstanding and rejection. Facing it, joy appears as a plaster applied to wounds. La Joie offers a journey through extreme and colourful feelings, where the brutality of words weakens family ties... right up to the hope of a soothing peace.
