Theater - Édith and Me - Maison des Arts du Léman
Description
Yaël Rasooly’s ode to love—featuring her puppet double—is a deeply moving autobiographical story. A life seen through rose-colored glasses that stings and brings a smile.
Collapsed at the edge of the stage, a singer no longer has the energy or the strength to perform or sing. Too many buried wounds, too many silences to bear. A miracle backstage. Suddenly, a fiery and indomitable Édith Piaf appears, urging the unfortunate woman to rise again, to be reborn in a hymn to liberating love. An actress, puppeteer, and multifaceted singer with a lyrical voice, Yaël Rasooly is one of the most exhilarating artists in contemporary Israeli theater. For this latest production, she has created a life-size puppet version of our legendary singer—like a double of herself. The two merge and reveal themselves in unison to free themselves from a haunting past. We laugh, we’re moved, and we no longer know who is who. This highly inventive one-woman show sets us on an emotional journey marked by pain, humor, and tenderness.
