Lecture de conte "L'heure bleue"

The tale is divided into nineteen titled moments, like so many fragments: "Le saut du clown", "Sur mon vélo"... It travels through many times and places, and Varennes-sous-Dun is not absent. A work suspended between dream and reality, in which a little girl tries to outwit her mother's sadness.
L'Heure bleue" is a story written by Martine in 1996 and performed in 1999 at the Contis short film festival (40), directed by Betty Berr.
It will be told by Martine herself and by Claire Hennaut, whose practice is rooted in reading literary texts aloud, and who was born in La Clayette like Martine. The reading is preceded by a documentary directed by Claude Jacquot in which Martine talks about her work in her house in Les Landes (2013, 19 mins).
Martine Straschitz, born Villard in La Clayette in 1955, divides her time between the Landes, not far from the ocean, and La Clayette, a land to which she remains deeply attached. A self-confessed autodidact, Martine has worked tirelessly for over forty years. Her highly personal work diversifies over the course of her life and is nourished by her contact with others, dance, theatre, music, readings and the works of artists. It's a need for her. She defines herself as a breaker-gluer. Using existing works as a starting point, she constantly dismantles, reconstitutes, destroys and recomposes. Her work is about memory, about childhood... a way of redistributing the cards of reality.
