Second - Optional option

2021/2022 (2h/week)

​

Each week, a seasonnce of two hours with about fifteen students of Terminale option theater at theSenghor high school in Evreux. Sylvain Levitte intervened from September 2020 to May 2021.

​

The theme of the year given by National Education was"Generations", it is therefore quite natural that the students and Sylvain looked at what binds and what separates the generations between them.Writing of a letter to the dream parents: what would we like to say to our parents? What would our parents like to tell us? Then gradually, work on the scenes written byJoel Pommerat inThis child and try to start playing someone other than yourself, a parent or a child. Finally, the year-end work focused onKing Lear by Shakespeare. We highlighted the need for control of the elders when the youngest want to emancipate themselves, take flight and control their own lives. Understanding the other generation, the one we are not in this moment, can help us avoid repeating the tragic mistakes of this king and his offspring.
