Another one!
Can't blame her either.

"She's mine, all mine!"

Just a PDF doc file of the program from Festival Avignon.
Page 12 has the details of "Andreas".
I haven't translated it yet, so if anyone would like to do so and post it, that'd be great.

AVIGNON? OMAGAD! Will be there, will be, even if the play begins at 10pm .

Here you are (all of this is mine, no Google Translate, so it can contain odd turns):

"A man without name, a wandering lady, a corner of a street: the setting of the beginning of Andreas, the adaptation of the first part of To Damascus given by Jonathan Châtel, reunites the conditions for a possible revival of the Stranger invented by Strindberg. Exiled in a strange land and cut from his social ties, he waits without knowing. A disappearance? A return to life? The meeting with the lady unlocks hope of finding the childhood and thus a future, but the past and its spectres could bring him on other ways. Which to take for losing or finding oneself? By translating and adapting the great August Strindberg's fresque, in which he sees a spring for reinvention, Jonathan Châtel underlines the mirror effects between characters surrounding the Stranger. Already seen, recalled in a new form, each one provokes an anxiety akeen to a dream where several figures have the same face. This dream game allows to unveil the Stranger's forgotten name, Andreas, stages his face to face with the Absolute and questions the fight of a man against his demons."

Do you want also the Jonathan Châtel's biography?


Fish, you are so great! Sincere regards!

Oh hush now.

Thanks for the translation Owen, much better than Gurgle Translate.
We probably don't need Jonathan Châtel's biography unless it is particularly relevant.
You can be the best judge of that.

Fantastic if you can get to the Avignon Festival to see Pauline.
Is it close to where you live?

Oh, and don't forget a camera.



A lovely domestic moment from Lettre which seems to be a scene cut from the final film.
Lucie & Zoé.

A camera, and a recorder, and a request for an interview for her adoring fan thread at sweet FA...?

Go on, go on, go on, go on, GO ON!!

DMt. wrote:...Go on, go on, go on, go on, GO ON!!

What are you trying to say?
Hope it turns out just as we all want Owen.



Not such a happy scene.
Tragically "Doomed".

fish wrote:Is it close to where you live?

Yeah, about 40 minutes by highway. I've been at the festival last year, though only to buy cheap books .

Oh, and don't forget a camera.

DMt. wrote:A camera, and a recorder, and a request for an interview for her adoring fan thread at sweet FA...?
Go on, go on, go on, go on, GO ON!!

I don't have a recorder (camera yes!) and I doubt very much to be able to approach her.

fish wrote:

Wow, I like it very much.

By the way, DMt, which country do you live in?

Owen wrote:I don't have a recorder (camera yes!)

Your mobile phone will have a recorder function, no? Try it out...

Owen also wrote:and I doubt very much to be able to approach her.

Come, come, lad; although Pauline is indubitably a Goddess Incarnate, she is also a human girl, and probably inclined to be very sweet and kind to a blushing, incoherent admirer from her biggest [only?] fan thread ...and in any case, if you contact her agent and request five or ten minutes interview time, it will be a legitimate, formal PR exercise, not a beastly papparazzi imposition.

Heed the wise words of Mrs. Doyle!

Owen further wrote:By the way, DMt, which country do you live in?

I live in Manchester, Northern England, why? Coming to visit?

This is one of those not-infrequent cases where the omission of a comma potentially changes the whole meaning of a sentence.

DMt. nearly wrote:...the deliberate omission of a comma...

I'm still not sure where I could have put one.


40 minutes is pretty good Owen.
Should still leave a little time for that "after show liaison".



LaFAB: "Owen's going to be there?
I wonder if I could meet him."

DMt. wrote:Your mobile phone will have a recorder function, no? Try it out...

Well, my phone is a fossil. But the camera has the recorder function all right. I'll try to get as much as I can, but frankly it will depend on the conditions of the play (at the festival it's often very bohemian-style).

Come, come, lad; although Pauline is indubitably a Goddess Incarnate, she is also a human girl, and probably inclined to be very sweet and kind to a blushing, incoherent admirer from her biggest [only?] fan thread ...and in any case, if you contact her agent and request five or ten minutes interview time, it will be a legitimate, formal PR exercise, not a beastly papparazzi imposition.

Biggest fan thread with 2 full-time participants and 4 or 5 intermittent ones (not that I mind, small groups are better). But it might really be the only one.

I won't challenge the "Goddess incarnate" part .

Thank you for the advice anyway. I'm sure every one of us wants to see even a tiny interview with Pauline.

DMt. wrote:I live in Manchester, Northern England, why? Coming to visit?

I was just wondering. It was a kind of a mystery But no, thanks, England is not my cup of tea (with milk, it's unbearable ). My experience with England has been unpleasant.

fish really wrote:Should still leave a little time for that "after show liaison".

More like "after show cowardly running off"

Owen wrote:...More like "after show cowardly running off"

That isn't going to make Pauline very happy.



Never mind Owen.
You should just do what you're comfortable doing.
We'll all be jealous of you just the same.

Don't listen to him, Owen, one's comfort zone is a silk-lined coffin...

But yes, freewill is paramount and we will all [2 regulars, 5 occasionals and a few tens of thousands of lurkers] be greenly envious of you.

I'd say "the greater the powers, the greater the responsibility" .
I'm thinking what I'll be able to do.

But in the case of an interview, what questions would you like to ask? Myself I don't seem to find any relevant enough.
(Anyway, an interview by mail is the most sure mean to catch it all and not "cowardly run off".)
