Focus on La Compagnie du Labyrinthe II
To support “Les Enfants des Vermiraux“, a play, to promote sidelined-youth integration.
Alain Gehin, General Manager of ibis Auxerre Centre.
La Compagnie du Labyrinthe is an association that is active in France, across the rest of Europe and worldwide, creating, promoting and producing live performances and running training courses.
The Morvan, a French area, was well known for its many orphanages and suchlike institutions at the start of the 20th century. One of them, Maison des Vermiraux (thus called because it was run by Mr and Mrs Soliveau), was the scene of a scandal that made legal history: it was the first time adults were convicted of mistreating children (after a boarder mutiny). A century down the road, La Compagnie du Labyrinthe has reconstituted the 18 July 1911 legal proceedings and is staging them in a play by the association’s artistic director Serge Sandor with Emmanuelle Jouet, who wrote his dissertation on the “Vermiraux affair”.
This project involves youths in difficulty from the Établissement de Placement Éducatif in Auxerre and the Maison d’Arrêt in Joux-la-Ville (two detention centres), who will be contributing to writing the script, making the backdrops and acting in the play. Youths from local secondary schools, workshops and choirs in nearby towns, and at the École des Planches in Avallon (a theatre association) are also working on this project.
The programme:
- Part 1: life in the Maison des Vermiraux (staged in Avallon indoor market);
- Part 2: the trial (in the former Avallon courthouse, courtesy of the town council);
- Between the two parts, the actors will be performing in the street to invite spectators to the courthouse.
The show will take place on 30 June and 6 July in Quarré-les-Tombes and on 1, 2, 3 and 4 July 2011 in Avallon.
