In his new latest piece, Joël Pommerat delves deep into the mysteries of childhood. In fairy tale-like manner, he sets up an encounter between two young girls as they prepare to confront the ways of the real world and stand up against the authority of adults. Shifting between fantasy and reality, they struggle to preserve the link between them in the face of the overriding norms.
Drawing on both theatre and the novelesque, in his latest piece Les Petites Filles modernes, Joël Pommerat develops a hybrid form in which events are recounted and experienced simultaneously. The different events he brings to the stage are both serious and innocent, and the only means by which these characters can deal with the inconceivable realities awaiting them is to escape into the world of the supernatural. The unwavering friendship between these two children enables the director to continue his exploration of intergenerational ties. Can any of childhood’s supernatural powers oppose the authority of adults? In contrast to Cinderella, which consisted of a deconstruction of the fairy tale-like, Joël Pommerat and the Compagnie Louis Brouillard now choose to fully embrace it. Here, the magical, the fantastical and the supernatural are neither kept at a distance nor parodied. On the contrary, they are taken very seriously indeed. Lived out to the full, they become the driving force of this theatrical experience.
