As a young actress, she dreamed of carrying the texts from the repertoire, of igniting the audience, of being chosen by great directors. Faced with the reality of the job, she accepts a mission that she would not have imagined taking on: playing a mascot in supermarkets.
Alone on stage, Anne Jeanvoine gives us a personal story, without pretense or artifice.
It testifies to the big gap between dreams, self-representations and reality. It highlights the class hierarchy which structures society and the artistic world, the preponderance of “legitimate culture” and the place of all others.
The piece questions disappearance and invisibility. She also speaks to us about self-disclosure, secrets and revelation, in a sincere and generous address. We are witnessing the construction of a woman’s identity, a lesbian, which was invented despite the lack of representation.
This text is an exit from the shadows: what the actress stages is the end of invisibility. The theater becomes a place of appearance – without metaphor, without device, without artifice – where what was you is finally formulated.
