The podcast episodes can be discovered on La Pointe media.

Episode 1: Anne-Marie Loop “I wear my meetings.”

The one who disagrees or the one who, on stage, will pretend to agree to show us that we shouldn’t. If Anne-Marie Loop has dedicated her life to the theatre, it’s undoubtedly because there’s something in the world that doesn’t suit her and it’s high time we changed it. Today, we listen to her.

Episode 2: Estelle Marion “I don’t belong anywhere. I am multiple.”

Getting back to the fundamentals of theatre. Getting rid of all artifice. Placing the actress’s body at the heart of the writing process. Working from her presence, the inflections in her voice, her unique way of inhabiting the space. She is the material of the show. Of Belgian-Rwandan origin, Estelle Marion is probably the first mixed-race actress to perform on our subsidised stages, and today we’re listening to her.

Episode 3: Agnès Limbos “It doesn’t work rationally, or intellectually.”

A pioneer of object theatre, Agnès Limbos founded the Compagnie Gare Centrale in 1984 and since then has developed a unique theatrical style combining the verbal, the visual and the art of performance. Today we’re listening to her.

Episode 4: Francine Landrain “It sweats. It belches. It’s flesh.”

How do we live and create in a dilapidated world where everything seems to have already happened? How do we redefine common action after the failed utopias of the previous decade? Where do we find the unheard of, the unsuspected? Groupov, a leading theatre company in French-speaking Belgium and elsewhere. Francine Landrain is one of its founders, and we’re listening to her today.

Episode 5: Jo Deseure “Joy is always found in the margins”.

‘You no longer know who you are, who you were, you know you played, you no longer know what you played, what you play, you play, you know you have to play, you no longer know what, you play’. In this dedication Marguerite Duras pays tribute to the actress Madeleine Renaud. These words resonate with the career of actress Jo Deseure, where the boundaries between theatre and life, between oneself and the other you play, are real but porous. Today we are listening to her.
