Highlights: Le syndrome de l'oiseau

Veteran playwright Pierre Tré-Hardy invites you to enjoy his scintillating psychological piece, Le syndrome de l’oiseau (The Bird Syndrome), upon the stage of the Théâtre du Petit Saint-Martin. The play introduces you to the reclusive life of Ève, a woman whose entire world exists within the parameters of four walls and a closed door - much like a caged bird. It is the contemptible character of Franck, played by Patrick d'Assumçao, that subjects Ève to this profound solitude; a dynamic that draws influence from the real-world case of Natasha Kampusch, a young Austrian woman who was kidnapped and held captive for eight years.

 

The immensely talented Sara Giraudeau not only embodies the character of Éve, but also takes on the role of director alongside Renaud Meyer. Together, they have managed to strike a delicate balance between realism and poetry, offering audiences a powerful viewing experience that will audiences are sure to remember. Le syndrome de l’oiseau goes further than fact in this stirring account, and plunges the audience into the depths of a harrowing ordeal with incredible sensitivity. A gripping exploration of the human soul that leaves a lasting impression…

Story: Le syndrome de l'oiseau

Le syndrome de l’oiseau at the Théâtre du Petit Saint-Martin marries fiction and fact by drawing inspiration from true-to-life events, such as the shocking story of Natasha Kampusch in 2006, but also the stories of other young women in Cleveland in 2013, as well as in Gizzeria in 2018. The play immerses us in these poignant stories, wherein the innate survival instinct is highlighted, and every member of the audience is reminded of their individual capacity to persist despite all odds.

 

Sensitively transposing these experiences onto the stage is a challenge which the directors meet with great delicacy, shifting the play between realism and poetry to preserve the strength of the subject and to avoid verging on trivialisation. In all, Le syndrome de l’oiseau achieves a skilful balance through its astounding theatrical depiction of detainment and hope.

Although the theatre only has 190 seats, it has quickly distinguished itself thanks to its artistic vision, dedicated to contemporary theatrical creation.
