Les Franciscaines en scène – Colette : “Sido”

In "Sido", Colette evokes the memory of her beloved mother, who ruled her childhood and introduced her to the joys of being in the world. Juliette de Charnacé adapts one of Colette?s most intimate novels for the stage, in a poetic one-woman show. "Sido" is Colette?s third attempt to approach her mother, after
after "La Maison de Claudin "e in 1922, a collection of short texts, and "La Naissance du jour" in 1928. "Sido ou les points cardinaux en 1929", republished under the title "Sido", is in a way a culmination, an impressionist portrait in which the narrator, catching on the fly a few childhood memories, restores the singularity of her mother, her radicality, her complexity, and her mystery. To embody Colette's voice, she chose young actor Renan Prévot, whose androgynous magnetism lends a new dimension to the text.
