Description
Summary: The analysis of recent theatre programmes reveals a genuine enthusiasm for self-narratives, particularly those of class defectors, such as Édouard Louis, Didier Eribon, and Annie Ernaux, who was included in the Comédie-Française’s repertoire in 2023. This trend has extended well beyond France, resonating significantly on the international stage. These productions, often hybrids between documentary film and theatrical/musical performance, draw on these narratives and update them through a transmedial and transcultural process, creating a dialogic space with the audience. This article aims to map out this phenomenon and to analyse key performance mechanisms, demonstrating that extending or distancing from the original narratives allows for a more intersectional examination of mechanisms of domination and oppression, as well as our relationship to discourse and imagery, thereby creating new narratives.
