A dance-drama by the French Theatre Company “Etoiles du Sud”, with English surtitles
In 1852, Violette Ailhaud was at a marriageable age, when her village was brutally deprived of men by the repression that followed the Republican uprising in December 1851. Two years went by in complete isolation. The women of the village took a vow that if a man came, he would be their common husband, so that life could continue.
The production of the Seed Giver came of an encounter between French actresses and dancers having lived in India for several years and was created in the Alliance française de Madras.
L’histoire se déroule dans un village des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence sans hommes depuis le soulèvement républicain contre le coup d’État de Napoléon III le 2 décembre 1851. Les femmes y font le serment de faire de l’homme qui viendra au village un mari commun pour que triomphe la vie au cœur de leur ventre.
Ce drame dansé a été créé à l’Alliance française de Madras en 2011 suite à la rencontre de trois actrices et danseuses françaises ayant vécu en Inde durant plusieurs années.
