Festival d’Automne, September – January 2011
The Paris Autumn Festival - an artistic vitality-filled forum for arts which actually lasts well into winter - spans a diversity of genres and includes countless theatre performances, recitals, dance events, film screenings and art shows, for several months taking over almost the whole of the French capital. The programme of the avant-garde-orientated Festival d´Automne is based on new works by artists from all over the world, previously never performed/exhibited in France. From its first year, the festival has aimed to bring to the spotlight new artists and support new experiments. However, the programme always also features a selection of masterpieces by renowned luminaries - great masters of their respective genres, classical avant-garde artists. Among other noteworthy events, it is well worth the while to experience the theatre of the octogenarian French grand master, the explorer of dreams and mysterious territories Claude Régy.
The French director Claude Régy - a maximalist working with radically minimalist means of expression - is the creator of a unique artistic world in the landscape of the French theatre. Darkness, silence, slowdown - this is what constitutes his magic kingdom.
Claude Régy never permits things he considers outdated, no matter how omnipresent on the French stage - naturalism, declamation, psychological realism, pathos, sentimentality and groundless hyperactivity - enter his works. He is not interested in an actor who exists on the stage without a regard for anything else - be it lights, space or people. In Régy's works, man responds to the slightest vibrations and subtlest changes in the milieu: they resound within him and become perceptible for the viewer on the scale of the fluctuations of the Universe. A special role is played by the score of actors' voices and intonations, opening the text to new senses and meanings. The festival programme includes Régy's Brume de Dieu, a theatre production that reveals the world as perceived through other forms of existence - free of the rationality of the Western civilisation, brimming with light, defined by the changeable border between life and death, speaking and silence, wisdom and insanity.
The festival also offers a rare opportunity of an encounter with Patrice Chéreau, one of the most subtle and intelligent French directors: Rêve d´Automne, his take on Autumn Dream by Jon Fosse, one of the most mysterious of Norwegian playwrights.
Complicite, one of the most exciting and sensuous British theatre companies, are bringing to Paris their Shun-kin, a production created with an ensemble of Japanese actors in Tokyo. The director Simon McBurney was inspired by two 1933 texts by the Japanese writer Jun`ichirō Tanizaki, revered as one of the most significant Japanese 20th-century authors. What constitutes the artistic nerve of Shun-kin is a trip from the neon Tokyo of today into the archaic traditional Japanese culture. The British Complicite company was founded a quarter of a century ago as a quest for a new theatrical language; according to its members, Complicite is more than just a theatre company: it is a way of thinking. The director Simon McBurney, the founder of the company, believes that its formula of vitality consists of seeking new routes and braving the unknown.
Festival d´Automne also presents a rare opportunity to see a piece by the Polish director Krystian Lupa on a European stage: the festival programme includes his Factory 2, a collective fantasy developed from the works of the iconic American artist Andy Warhol.
The impressive range of the festival's dance programme includes a selection of works by a number of extremely strong European choreographers - Anne Teresa Keersmaeker, Jérôme Bel, Mette Ingvartsen - as well as the legend of American dance avant-garde Merce Cunningham and the South African enfant terrible Robyn Orlin.

Je suis ici pour témoigner de la façon dont ce puissant lanceur de sorts appelé Dr. Ogala m'a aidé à améliorer ma relation. J'ai eu le cœur brisé quand mon amant m'a dit qu'il n'était plus intéressé à m'épouser parce qu'une autre dame avait utilisé la magie noire sur lui. J'ai pleuré et sangloté tous les jours, jusqu'à ce que ça devienne si grave que j'ai contacté Internet pour obtenir de l'aide, c'est alors que j'ai lu une critique sur le Dr Ogala, puis je l'ai contacté pour obtenir de l'aide pour retrouver mon amour et ma vie. , il m'a aidé à lancer un puissant sortilège d'amour et à ma grande surprise après 24 heures à faire le sortilège d'amour, mon amant est revenu à genoux en me suppliant de lui pardonner. son adresse e-mail: drogalad02@gmail.com WhatsApp +2347049668119...
