“We had a few cancellations because of the Covid, but fortunately, it was in no way comparable to the two previous years”, says Hervé Estebeteguy, director of the company.
“White” outdoors
Saturday, May 7, Hecho en Casa will offer at 9:15 p.m., in Baroja Park, the outdoor version of its most recent creation, “Blanche”. Creation performed for the first time, in an indoor version, in January 2022, at the Quintaou theater, as part of the program of the Scène nationale du Sud-Aquitain. The company promises a surprise to the spectators present at the end of the performance.
“Blanche” is a show for all audiences from 9 years old, written by Mélanie Viñolo and directed by Hervé Estebeteguy. We discover Blanche, an elderly woman, in a retirement home, called upon to cook as part of an intergenerational project. Throughout his recipe, memories have survived him in the disorder of his memory, and take the viewer on a journey through the 20th century with its two world wars, that of Algeria, changes in customs and music (1) .
“Blanche” will be filming throughout the month of May. We will see it in particular in Hendaye on Saturday May 21, and in Bayonne on Tuesday May 31. At the same time, “Hidden in his lavender bush, Cyrano smelled good of laundry”, continues his long career. After more than 300 performances, his adventure continues from May 12 to 14, at the Théâtre de la Scène Nationale in Sète, in Hérault, and will probably not stop there.
With the schoolchildren
The actors and actors of Hecho en casa have not finished packing their bags. They will take the direction of Avignon, to play, from July 7 to 28, 2022, as part of the Festival Off. “We would like to present three of our shows there”, with “Sometimes I will have a family like that of Little house on the prairie”, “BAK” and Cyrano.
Moreover, even on tour, Hecho en casa retains strong roots in Anglet, where the company runs a mediation project in conjunction with the city’s cultural department. For the youngest, it was directed within the Jean-Jaurès, Evariste-Galois and Edouard-Herriot schools, in conjunction with National Education. We will see the result in June. Finally, with the adults of the theater workshop that the company animates, it is a stay in Pioggiola, in Corsica, within theAria (Association of international artistic meetings), which is scheduled for August.
