The French actress gave two unforgettable performances on July 5 and 6 on the Ifc in Yaoundé and Othni, taking part in the function of Marianne within the dramatic play written and directed by Kouam Tawa.
Two full rooms, on July 5 and 6: respectively the world of the French Institute of France Cameroon (Ifc) and the lair of Othni. As on the Ifc, the play Maintain your coronary heart, a play written and directed by Kouam Tawa, is a good success at Othni.
Monologue ofAnna Lorvoin a career Marianne, brings lovely individuals operating. Viewers in amount and high quality: between theater professionals (actors, administrators, playwrights) and the coed group (college students, academics and establishment directors).
Ana Lorvo shines beneath the highlight of the lighting supervisor, Roch-Amedet Banzouzi; taking part in and singing the phrases to Abraham Nerl Kwemy’s music; exhibiting his good mastery of engaged on the path of Kouam Tawa (distinctive sound, good stage function, emitter of feelings, and many others.).
On the stage, Ana Lorvo performs. She performs to the purpose the place you possibly can imagine it was her final present. She performs like nobody else, with out forcing herself; she is sweaty, operating like a tragic African on the crimson soil of her husband’s Sikati village, who died in disturbing circumstances. Marianne (Ana Lorvo) performs like she’s by no means carried out earlier than. She cries, then laughs. Sing, dance, slam, sing. She performs this dramatic textual content as if it’s a scene she has simply skilled and is recounting. She performs with phrases to treatment her illnesses.
Marianne touches souls. Just like the tears falling from the eyes of the artwork and leisure scholar at Uy1 who could not take it anymore. She carries in her womb, the struggling of Marianne, the pal of the pal Sikati, the spouse of her husband Sikati. The opposite college students maintain their breath and in the long run we hear expressions like “rattling, no manner, my God” and even questions “can we play like that?” » and even “I got here, I noticed, I realized”.
Marianne has a number of worries, pressed by many regrets, humiliated by the inhumane African custom: she has simply misplaced her husband, “pal”, Sikati. She can’t mourn, as a result of the group, even the individuals who beloved her when she arrived on the town, amongst her brothers, accuse her of being firstly of the loss of life of their brother, their son. However Marianne solely had Sikati and he had nothing however him. Her crime is to take her husband, their pal, to the hospital after unsuccessful makes an attempt by the village. He was struck by a mysterious sickness whereas he was dedicated, after leaving the nation of the Whites, to enhance his village. A mission in unhealthy style for well-known conservatives.
They’re those who determine to take Sikati to the standard practitioners, and eventually Marianne, whereas she is busy attempting the trail of contemporary medication, the pal dies, saying goodbye, saying to his spouse in a determined voice, Maintain your coronary heart, as soon as, twice, and 3 times. After a debate, Marianne is condemned to depart the city, leaving all the things behind: recollections with the pal, the grave of the pal the place she didn’t enable the smallest grass to develop close by. Marianne returns after being banned by everybody. She is going to cry misery, she’s going to bear sorrow, she’s going to cry misfortune, however afterwards she doesn’t complain in opposition to those that criticized her. She returns with mud that was introduced close to Sikati’s grave and which maintains the connection along with her husband.

Martin Ambara: “It’s a piece that has an excellent future”
Theater and theater is what Kouam Tawa is aware of how one can do; in his function as an creator and who generally tries to translate all African languages into French, particularly those he masters probably the most, together with Bahamian. We’ve all of the bard onomatics, proverbs which might be transcribed into French that give all of the magic of speech that we now have seen as we speak. It was simply spectacular. The room is heading in the right direction. That’s to say within the circuit of French establishments. So meaning the piece goes to go lengthy. However technically by way of the work of the actor and actress and everybody who labored on it, there’s nothing to say, it’s a play that has an excellent future. Our house was created exactly to work on the spirit of improvement, on how theater is made each in follow with the stage and the writing of scenes.
Man Francis Tami Yoba, artwork and leisure instructor at Uy1: “Ana Lorvo is an effective actress who is aware of her job”
After the 2 reveals of Maintain My Coronary heart, my impressions are moderately good. Every of those productions are actually locations of instructing and coaching for my college students. As a part of a few of my actions with the French institute, I took my youngsters to be taught to learn and perceive a presentation. In Othni, I spotted that the actress appeared calm and she or he performed what we name in our jargon a writing half, from the perspective of stage motion, supply of the textual content, diction, manipulation of feelings, integration of different methods of stage definition was achieved and it was wonderful. Ana Lorvo is an effective actress who is aware of her job. She is aware of how one can transfer round a stage; say and enter the textual content. For my college students, coaching in appearing and directing actors was given and for them it was a vital and fascinating train, it added to their mental background within the discipline of appearing. What I’m searching for of their report is what they give thought to the appearing of the actress since we’re within the context of a mono theater, does she embody the ideology and the instruction notes? How does she transfer? How does she carry the textual content? How will she defend the chief’s ideology? And the way did the director join the stage interpretation technique with appearing, that’s to say sound, lighting, surroundings, make-up and others.
