William Tell is presented here without adaptation or critical hindsight, in a production by Gwenaël Morin with students from the Haute école des arts de la scène, faithful to Schiller's original text. The aim: to reveal its maximum legibility and test its scenic relevance. This choice also responds to a concrete context: a national hero, an emblematic author, and a play with many roles, ideal for collective work. A raw experience, as close to the script as possible.
After studying architecture, Gwenaël Morin turned to theater. In 2009, he experimented with “permanent theater” at the Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers. He has staged _Woyzeck, Hamlet, Bérénice _and _Antigone. _From 2013 to 2018, he directed the Théâtre du Point du Jour in Lyon. From Beckett to Sophocles, Molière to Racine and Shakespeare, his radical stagings extricate the actor from the artifices of performance, to better reduce the distance between the audience and the power of repertory texts. He is a regular contributor to the Bachelor Théâtre program at La Manufacture.
