In Theater
Isabelle is also an actress who plays in theater frequently.
"The first time I saw Isabelle
Huppert act", recalled Suzie
Mackenzie in her interview with Isabelle - "was more than 25
years ago in a small cafe-theatre just off the Boulevard St Germain, Paris.
She can't have been more than 18. The play was a three-hander - written
by her older sister, Elizabeth, who
also performed - a feminist black comedy, but feminism à la Francaise:
all fishnet stockings, provocative routings and, for reasons I can't recall,
a lot of fake blood. Try to imagine the dandyish decadence of Genet set
in-side a framework of Julia Kristeva's intellectual theorising, and you'll
get something of its gist. Huppert, I remember, was a sensational slut,
part impulse of the temptress, part essence of the tramp. And she had eyes
that glinted like hatchets."(from "The
Process of Being Someone Else", The
Guardian, October 10, 1998)
Since her film career started up after the success of "Lacemaker" in 1977, Isabelle had stopped playing in theater until 1988. Back with UN MOIS A LA CAMPAGNE and thereafter, she has frequently played on stage...
In October, 2005, it's the first
time for Isabelle to set out on a long international tour with 4.48
Psychose, directed by Claude
Regy. The play was first put
on on October 1, 2003. This time, as part of French Act, the
play will start in Los Angeles at UCLA's Freud Theater from
Oct 5-9, and move on to New York City's BAM Harvey Theater
between
Oct.
19-30, the following up will be Montreal, Milan, Berlin... |
