L'Atelier-Théâtre Emmet du Département d'anglais de l'Université de Genève présente à la Comédie du 13 au 14 mai "Nightown", un spectacle en anglais inspiré par le célèbre "Ulysse" de James Joyce.
We are at the Mabbot Street entrance to Nighttown, the name Joyce gave to Dublin’s brothel quarter. Two British soldiers, Private Carr and Private Compton, make their way into the area. They are followed by a very drunk Stephen… Bloom is at the Talbot Street side of Nighttown. He has lost sight of Stephen…
Thus begins the action of the fifteenth chapter of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Meandering through hallucinated visions and hauntings from the past, bursting with sexual innuendoes and subversive political passions, Nighttown attempts the impossible: bringing Joyce’s crackling language to the stage by blending action with video animations, live camera work, and voices from beyond the grave, in a wild waltzing evening where Bloom and Stephen finally come to meet, and care for each other, at the heart of Joyce dizzying labyrinth.
