These five letters from a Portuguese nun to a French soldier who came home, as soldiers do, were published in the 17th century. Gaël Leveugle (director and interpreter) tells us at the outset that in fact they will be proven from the pen of a man …
Just for accuracy? Or … why does a man feel the need to express this passion in the guise of a nun? Because it really is a love affair that is paid poorly in return. In one of the last letters, the beloved wonders if she is not writing to herself. Will she seek to give her life a dimension that she sorely lacks?
It all starts with the faint light of a candle, then comes a cool blue light, then a warmer light, and finally blinds and we discover a wall of ice slowly melting and crumbling as the plateau turns into a vast puddle. With the music from the fields continuing in the background. So much for the fund.
As for the Jewel, the text, written in the language of the seventeenth century, is expressed in a soft, often barely audible voice, sometimes bordered by singing, and with great savings in gestures, arms open, hands clasped, bodies swinging on feet in red high heels, the only feminine tone.
With these messages we witness introspection, exorcism, and a painful and redeeming purification. We remain hanging on the lips of the actor.
