Les Zébrures Festival in Limoges Explores Intimacy with Two Theatrical Works
During the Zébrures festival in Limoges, two performances delve into personal narratives: "Une Venus de 5743 ans," created by Olivia Csiky Trnka, and "Rebelles en exil," presented by Tatiana Frolova and Soro Solo. Csiky Trnka's work features a nude performer embodying an elderly, partially paralyzed woman residing in a care facility, as she reflects on her past. The director seeks to re-establish connections with the elderly, highlighting society's disregard for their fragility. Meanwhile, "Rebelles en exil," part of Grand ReporTERRE by Théâtre du Point du jour, addresses the brutality of exile through Frolova, founder of KnAM theatre in 2005, and Ivorian journalist Soro Solo. "Une Vénus de 5743 Ans" will tour in 2027, while "Rebelles en exil" is scheduled for Lyon from October 12-14 and Choisy-le-Roi on November 26.
