L'âge de frémir - Guillaume Béguin

Having mastered the art of taking over the stage by disrupting classical dramaturgy, Guillaume Béguin astonishes once again with this irreverent tribute to old age. Counteracting the myth of eternal youth and the phenomenon of making our elders invisible, L'âge de frémir (The Age of Shuddering) offers an iconoclastic representation of old age by questioning the permanence and impermanence of our identities. In the folds of skin, the furrow of wrinkles, the memory gaps, the hesitant steps, the trembling hands; beneath the heavy eyelids, the outdated clothes, the white hair and the ghostly silhouettes are revealed a wild grace, a disheveled mischief, a brazen impropriety, a subversive sensuality and above all a fiery desire to fight again and again.
