Created in January at the Quai - Le Center Dramatique National d'Angers, which he directs, Thomas Jolly's latest production,
Le Dragon
, is touring throughout France in 2022-2023.
The director captures the fantastic drama of Evgueni Swartz with his filthy beast and his three heads.
At the same time, he resumed
Henry VI
to which he added
Richard III
to form Shakespeare's tetralogy never staged in France.
The show, with 200 characters, 25 actors and 50 technicians, takes place over a full 24 hours on June 4 and 5, then every other weekend in June in two parts at the Quai.
It's called an experience, or better: a moment of theatre.
Last challenging news:
musical tale by Luc Plamondon from 1978 (from November 8 at the Seine Musicale).
He will also stage
Romeo and Juliet
at the Paris Opera.
But that's in 2023...

In 1822, Champollion perfected a system for deciphering hieroglyphs, exclaiming: "I've got my business."
This marks the birth of a new science: Egyptology.
Two centuries later,
Pharaon des Deux Terres
, at the Louvre, commemorates the bicentenary of this discovery.
This exhibition follows on from
Meroe, an empire on the Nile
(2010), sheds light on the vast kingdom of the Napata kings.
In the 8th century AD, the Ramses dynasty no longer exists.
The successors of the king of Kush Piânkhy create the kingdom of the Two Lands, by unifying Egypt and the country of Kush, a territory which extends from the Nile delta to the confluence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile.
This display, rich in hieroglyphics, tells of the conquest of the entire valley and the founding of the 25th dynasty.

Jean Painlevé, a photographer with his feet in the water
It's a first !
A monograph is dedicated to Jean Painlevé at the Jeu de Paume.
This filmmaker (1902-1989) was a pioneer in the popularization of science.
Specialized in marine biology, he makes us dive, thanks to advanced techniques and his concern for accuracy, into the depths of the ocean.
The retrospective brings together around twenty black and white or color films, silent or with sound, but also around a hundred photographs and documents from the period.
Its organic forms, with their strange strangeness, fed the imagination of the surrealists and the avant-gardes from the 1920s-1930s.
They haven't aged a bit.
Captivating.

When chefs meet visual artists, what do they tell each other?
Stories of art and taste.
This is how to extend this conversation La Forest Divonne Gallery has partnered with Swenden Studio to create a unique sensory experience called
L'oeuvre au Corps
.
This collaboration brings together six international artists and six starred chefs including Alain Passard (L'Arpège) and the sculptor Jean-Bernard Métais, Bruno Verjus (Table) and the painter Guy de Malherbe, Adeline Grattard (Yam Tcha) and the visual artist Valérie Novello for France… The result of this association will be unveiled in two parts, in two galleries and six restaurants between Paris and Brussels.
The artists will invest the restaurants, the chefs will interpret the artistic gesture into a culinary experience and the galleries will exhibit the works.
It remains for the public to discover these correspondences.
The work in the body,
Galerie La Forest Divonne, Paris and Brussels, until June 18.

For six years, the Musée Guimet has made contemporary Japanese ceramics a major focus of its acquisition policy.
Touching the Fire
exhibition
highlights the unique place of women.
Japanese ceramics are traditionally masculine: according to Shinto beliefs, women were not allowed to "touch fire".
It was only after the Second World War, when the universities of Tokyo and Kyoto opened their doors to them, that a first generation of female ceramists emerged… And created completely sculptural objects inspired by the Mingei movement.
Their shapes are inspired by nature.
The course, chronological, shows some male works and the 14 acquired works which represent three generations of women.
Certain organic, mineral forms are close to land art.
Others appear to have crumbled during firing with significant material effects.
A reflection on impermanence!
