claude régy, la brûlure du monde
Directed by Alexandre Barry, 2005
SYNOPSIS
This film is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary theatre-maker who, for over fifty years, has based his work on the renunciation of the classical norms of representation - architecture, sets, costumes, psychology, characters - in order to take refuge, with his actors, in the space without visible contours of writing. On the occasion of the world premiere of Comme un chant de David, Claude Régy examines the nature of his work, and in particular the relationship between reality and imagination, truth and falsity, matter and emptiness. We discover him in what he calls his state of uncertainty...
