With my own hands

With my own hands

text, direction, installation Pascal Rambert

interpretation Ismail Ibn Conner

In 1993, Pascal Rambert directed his text With my own hands written for Éric Doye whom the audience observed walking on the edge of abyss on the roofs of the Dijon University building during the Theatre Festival in May. Then at the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers, Rambert created a second version for Charles Berling lost in an oversize costume, surrounded by dazzling colours. In 2007, he made for Bonlieu Scène Nationale d’Annecy, a third version, for the American actress and performer Kate Moran who suddenly appears from complete darkness. This version has toured the world from New York to Tokyo. Once every ten years Pascal Rambert makes a new version of this text about the human condition. In 2016, he directed his friend Arthur Nauzyciel for a new version, created at CDN Orléans / Centre-Val de Loire.
This time he will stage it for Ismaël Ibn Conner, during the Under the radar festival 2022.
