To open the mandate of Amélie Casasole, new director of the Nîmes theater, the presentation of the next season made it possible, with more than thirty titles on the program, to verify the objective aimed at offering different audiences varied or accessible. A challenge which will begin on October 3 with an exhibition.
Coming from Villefranche-sur-Saône, where she was at the head of the city theater, Amélie Casasole, alongside Sophie Roulle, assistant for culture at the town hall of Nîmes, presented this Wednesday at the end of the morning the 2023 season /2024 of the Bernadette-Lafont hall and other sites which will host the shows. Apart from the traditional flamenco festival, still on the calendar for the month of January and the full details of which will probably be announced in November, more than thirty titles appear on the program.
A photographic exhibition to launch the season
With the desire to open the programming to the city and to expand as much as possible the most varied proposals that can reach different audiences, Amélie Casasole has chosen to open the agenda of meetings with an exhibition. It will take place in the Jesuit chapel, will be inaugurated on Tuesday October 3, visible until Saturday October 28 and will support the works of Caravaggio. This presentation is by photographer Christophe Loiseau and brings together more than forty pieces.
Shows for adults and children in October
For the first part of the calendar, confirmation of the orientation of the subjects for all generations. Place at the theater, starting with the Flemish company De HOE, which returns to Nîmes with “Le Nouvel Homme”, a show in interaction with the public in the Oéon room, while at the Berndette-Lafont theater, it’s It is with the humor of Alex Vizorek that the curtain will rise on “Ad Vitam”, a solo on the unexpected theme of death. And, after the dance reading by Emma Morin and Sylvain Prunenec on texts by Leonardo da Vinci, the month of October will end with mornings or afternoons dedicated to very young audiences (even babies!), with “The little B” by Marion Musac (associated artist at the Nîmes theater), and “I am all the gods” by Marion Carriau.
Shakespeare, Capuçon and Olivier Dubois before the end-of-year holidays
“Richard III” by Shakespeare, two evenings in November ML – erik damiano
Absolute variety for the last two months of the year. With the choreographic piece “Hasard” by Pierre Rigal, then this “Death of a Mountain” from the company Les non Aligned evoking global warming, several returns to the classic with Shakespeare’s “Richard III” and carte blanche to violinist Renaud Capuçon (in partnership with the Les Volques festival).
“Tragedy, new edit”, martial march for naked dancers
The choreographer Olivier Dubois, with his “Tragédie, new edit”, will offer his shock opus, a real martial march for naked dancers, and the XY company, just before the end of year celebrations, will offer dreams and poetry with performances on the theme of birds.
André Dussollier will present his show “Sens dessus dessous” ML – MARIA_LETIZIA_PIANTONI
Flamenco, Dussollier and Molière
Before the final announcement of the flamenco evenings (with the voice of Israel Fernández for the first time), a rich first quarter of 2024 in perspective. From André Dussollier’s solo entitled “Sens tous sous sous”, a virtuoso exercise around the French language, to “L’Avare” by Molière staged by Bernard Lambert, including the concert by Erik Truffaz, built on jazz and cinema, the evenings of the Éloize circus or the theatrical offering “Lazzi” with the Philippe Torreton-Vincent Garanger duo, an abundance of major dates.
From Albertine Sarrazin to the São Paulo ballets for the end of the season
La São Paulo Dance Company clôturera la saison ML – MARCELO MACHADO
Final chapters of the end of the season, theater, humor, music and dance still in the spotlight. It is through an immersion in the life of Albertine Sarrazin, proposed by Julie Rossello Rochet and Lucie Rébéré that the end of the program will be launched. Will follow “Les Françaises”, music and delirium united, the play “Une autre histoire de théâtre” by Fanny de Chaillé (artist in residence), the vocal performance of Cécile MCLorin Salvant, before the São Paulo Dance Company, a crazy choreographic epic between samba and Stravinsky. Lights for the heart of spring.
