my writings for theatre and film

Writing has always accompanied me in the process of creation for the stage as for the image. Alternately a framework for playing in improvisation, dialogue or script, the common core is the narrative, driven by the creative necessity, the desire to share and arouse emotions, sensations and reflection, by the irresistible desire to play and tell stories.

Luna Cor Amantis

Bible for theatre play

It is 11:20 am, on June 17, 1907, when Eugénie Pounard, a servant at Château De Bernis, utters a cry of horror. In the little salon, the count's body lies there, inert, on the ground, with his tongue hanging and his eyes bulging. He is dead, he who got married the same day! Revenge, conspiracy, betrayal; What obscure motive had caused the old judge's enemies to commit this horrible act?
