In this piece between lecture and performance, writer Alice Zeniter enters a labyrinth of stories. From ancient civilisations to the present day, who are the people who make and break the stories we tell ?
Alice Zeniter stands in a jumble of crumpled white pages on which images, pictures and drawings are projected. With humor, she launches into stories and spins fables — only to cut them short and unravel their contents. Calling on Duras, Sherlock Holmes and Zola, she deciphers the nature of tales we have been telling since the dawn of time. Like a storyteller, she demonstrates how a story can never be told in a neutral way.
A former student of the École Normale Supérieure and an associate artist at the Comédie de Valence, Alice Zeniter won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens for her book L’Art de perdre (2017). She belongs to a new generation of authors who write about reality from the perspectives of feminism and minorities.
