balancement des questions, des réponses et des réflexions, auquel se sont livrées librement les deux interlocutrices, a fini par produire, comme un accident, ce que Robert Cantarella appelle un « manuel de dérangement », et à cette occasion un traité sur le théâtre. This epistolary conversation between Noëlle Renaude and Barbara Métais-Chastanier was initially meant to be a short interview, yet it turned into a more substantial piece of work that they invented together for over a year. Moving beyond the realm of the original topics of the accident, the unexpected, and chance, it became a two-voice essay which, over the course of the dialogue, explores a writing process, linked to the enigma of the stage, in a poetic, critical, and digressive way. In daily sequences, the two correspondents freely engaged in a seesaw of questions, answers, and reflections, which finally produced, as if by accident, what Robert Cantarella calls a “Guide to Disruption” and, on this occasion, a treatise on theater. |
