If you want to sing, then sing! But why do you have to be someone else?
"In a chapter [of my novel] Happy the Lucky, Pascaline Hutner told how she and her husband Lionel had to watch their son Jacob gradually transform into Céline Dion. That was one story among others in the book, that of a child, that is no longer recognizable, one story among others that, unlike the others, remains without resolution. I knew that one day I would meet these people again. In James Brown wore hair curlers, Jacob is in a nursing facility. In an institution, you know not where, in a park in the middle of an orderly and peaceful nature. There he found a friend, Philippe, a patient like him. Just as Jacob sees himself as Céline, or wants to be the singer, Philippe is a white man who is for keeps a black man, or wants to be a black man. One does not know the degree of their irrationality. It is said that no human being is formed without an example and model. The psychiatrist to whom the unfortunate Hutners have entrusted their child does not try to bring the patients into her returned to its original purpose. She strives to bring them into harmony with themselves and to enable them to accept their emancipation. Modern harmony. Mixture of generosity and confusion. This is musical. That's funny. And also sad.”
Yasmina Reza
Yasmina Reza, world-famous for her sharp and sarcastic comedies (including God of Carnage, "KUNST") once again demonstrates a feel for social developments and discussions. She describes her latest piece as a “fantasy about identity or difference – whatever you want.”
Subject to change.
