La Maison du Loup, the latest work by Benoit Solès, famous for La Machine de Turing, which won 4 Molières in 2019, transports us to Jack London's lair. This play invites us to discover the dynamic interactions between Jack London, his partner Charmian, and the mysterious Ed, each the bearer of a profound secret. Set against the fascinating backdrop of London's home, the play explores themes of love, ideals, rebellion, survival and the creative flame.
The narrative unfolds around a novel that left its mark on American society, guided by the talents of Benoit Solès as Ed Morrell, Amaury de Crayencour, and Anne Plantey, under the direction of Tristan Petitgirard. The play tackles timeless subjects such as inspiration, the return to nature, addiction, the treatment of animals, the status of women, police violence and the death penalty, all of which resonate strangely with our own times.
The staging by Tristan Petitgirard, already renowned for his work on Turing's Machine, underlines the power of the imagination and the strength of the story, highlighting the animal aspect of the characters and their struggle to master or succumb to their instincts.
For a rich and captivating theatrical experience that links past and present through the work and life of Jack London, La Maison du Loup is an adventure not to be missed at Théâtre Rive Gauche until May 19, 2024.
