First poem by Aimé Césaire, Notebook of a return to the native country recounts the French West Indies before the decline of the colonial empire, in 1939. A text marked with the seal of his impatience as a young man of 25 “, according to Jacques Martial who believes that” the language of Aimé Césaire demands to be said as much as it is made to be heard. »
The actor and director has therefore adapted this text for the stage, in resonance with this national day of memories of the slave trade, slavery and their abolition.
Guest : Jacques Martialactor and director of Notebook of a return to the native country », at the Théâtre de l’Épée de Bois, from May 5 to 15, 2022.
