Natacha Vénus ou l’art de transformer les chutes en renaissance

Avec « L’héritage d’un pépin : Autofiction d’une chute presque-maîtrisée », Natacha Vénus signe un récit intime et universel sur ces moments où l’existence déraille sans prévenir. À travers Nina, alter ego à la fois lucide, maladroite et profondément humaine, l’auteure explore les petits chaos du quotidien, les illusions qui se fissurent et les reconstructions discrètes qui suivent les mauvaises passes. Entre autodérision, tendresse et lucidité, son écriture capte l’absurde ordinaire de la vie et transforme les revers en matière narrative accessible à tous. Issue d’une période suspendue marquée par le chômage et le départ imminent d’une mère malade, l’œuvre puise dans le vécu tout en assumant la liberté de la fiction.

When Brévo Theatre staged “Black Nativity” at the Sandrell Rivers Theater in 2024, the company discovered there was a strong community appetite for its newest holiday production. “Langston Hughes created a work that is joyful, spiritual and deeply connected to the African American experience and yet it had rarely been produced in this region at the scale it deserves,” says Zaylin Yates, founding managing director of Brévo Theatre, who directs the production.
