L’Âge d’or

Igor Cardellini/Tomas Gonzalez

L’Âge d’or

A bank, administrative offices. What do these places reveal about the world in which we live, the forces that guide it and its ideals? Starting from their architecture and the manner in which it affects us, L'Âge d'Or invites us to share in these questions through theatrical guided tours.

This season and the next one, the directors Igor Cardellini and Tomas Gonzalez invite you to discover a symbolic and familiar building of the city. Their guides will lead explorations of the UBS branch in Saint-François and the offices of Vaudoise Assurances. These particular spaces, which can be found in any city, are the embodiment of capital, employment and consumerism. Designed in the 20th century, they contain within them models of organisation, circulation and scenography that inspire confidence, security, discipline and wonder.

By approaching them from the points of view of those who designed, transformed and occupied them, and through the evolution of their uses, the visits shift our gaze by connecting reality to these underlying ambitions. The three theatrical itineraries invite a double shift in focus: by treating the visit as a dramatic object, the directors are conducting another investigation: what do we do when we visit a place as a group? By having an actor play the role of guide and the audience play the role of visitor, the performance exposes the discipline to be followed to reach that promised, fantastical and ideological golden age; and it invites us to a participatory process of observation that places us back at the centre of the game... Follow the guide!

Directors

Igor Cardellini/Tomas Gonzalez

Igor Cardellini a suivi un parcours universitaire en anthropologie, sociologie et sciences politiques à l’Université de Lausanne. En tant que metteur en scène, il œuvre au sein de CARDELLINI | GONZALEZ depuis 2016 et du Colectivo Utópico depuis 2019. Sa recherche se focalise sur les rapports de pouvoir et la manière dont la situation théâtrale permet de les activer ainsi que de les mettre en jeu. Il collabore par ailleurs avec les chorégraphes Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui et Jérôme Bel ou encore la metteure en scène Émilie Charriot. Il est membre du comité du festival Belluard Bollwerk, et, comme journaliste, écrit aussi pour plusieurs quotidiens suisses.  

Tomas Gonzalez s’est formé en Lettres à l’Université de Lausanne et en théâtre à La Manufacture-HEARTS, école dans laquelle il enseigne depuis 2017. Il s’intéresse aux procédés de copie, d’imitation et de réactivation. Il collabore avec Jérôme Bel, Mohammad Al Attar, Sara Leghissa, Karim Bel Kacem ou Émilie Charriot. Au bénéfice d’une bourse de compagnonnage de la Ville de Lausanne et du Canton de Vaud, il assiste Milo Rau et Yan Duyvendak. À Vidy, il collabore avec Stefan Kaegi pour les créations de Boîte noire et Société en chantier.

Ensemble, ils ont créé Je m’appelle Tomas Gonzalez et nous avons 60 min., et O.V.N.I. Associés à la comédienne Rébecca Balestra au sein du collectif BALESTRA | CARDELLINI | GONZALEZ, ils·elle créent Self-help et Showroom – ce dernier sera présenté à Vidy en fin de saison 2020/21.
