La dernière fuite
Anne Koren dances; Frédéric Leidgens writes; Daniel Emilfork sleeps and talks in his sleep, prone in a chair; François Verret lets himself get fascinated by a wooden doll.
Anne Koren dances; Frédéric Leidgens writes; Daniel Emilfork dozes and raves aloud, prostrated in an armchair; François Verret pretends to be fascinated by a wooden doll that he handles with caution. It is time to leave. Everyone is getting ready to flee in the face of an imaginary danger and fill a cart with objects and blankets.
Despite the evocative power of the images, the exodus here is interior and the cart will never leave the leprous walls of the shed. Taken from Quel est le secret ?, a work that François Verret qualifies as “resistance”, the film ends with a cynical farce evoking the pre-war Berlin burlesque theatre. A dark and prophetic work on helplessness and solitude that the film adapts in the only way possible: with dryness and distance. The work was performed in Orleans, Aix-en-Provence and Montpellier in 1987.
