Synopsis

The action takes place under a wide-open sky in a mountain landscape with only rickety mobile homes for shelter. If the trilogy focused on intimacy and the inside, this new performance turns towards extimacy (the term ‘extimacy’, ‘extimité’, was coined by Lacan from the term ‘intimacy,’ ‘intimate’), and the outside. We find ourselves in a small isolated community where the inhabitants are confronted with their own loneliness. The focus in this new creation lies on the internal forces that determine which turn the characters will take, their motives are being exposed and stripped of their consciousness. The characters evolve in a primarily ‘mental’ space. The borders between what happens in reality and what they believe happens in reality become blurred. They lose themselves for fear of something which turns out to lie within themselves, and so they stay trapped in their own isolation.

For Peeping Tom, a new creation always starts with designing the set. It greatly determines how the work develops and it is important to find out how the characters are affected by finding themselves together in a specific environment. For this piece, Peeping Tom wanted to tackle a wider community, take things out into the open. Indeed a massive cyclorama of 30m x 8m represents the limitless sky under which the mini mountain range rises up within the confines of the theatre. One of the inspirational sources for the new piece was Shohei Imamura’s film, “The Ballad of Narayama”. “32 rue Vandenbranden” also depicts a remote mountain community whose customs are laws unto themselves. The new cast is mainly very young and Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier wanted to delve into all the psychological baggage that can hamper young people, even those who appear to be at total liberty to do what they want, from ever really escaping their roots, their family or their culture. There’s a valley visible in the set, but the protagonists are never quite able to reach it, and for one, an even worse fate awaits.
