La règle du Jeu (The rules of the game)

2017

At the invitation of the Comédie Française, Christiane Jatahy pursues her research into the interaction between theater and cinema, and the links between actor and character, reality and fiction. She stages La règle du Jeu, Jean Renoir’s cinematic masterpiece (which, in turn, was inspired by Musset’s Caprices de Marianne and Beaumarchais’ Le Mariage de Figaro). 

Combining dramaturgical coherence and formal vivacity, she creates this theatrical version, freeing herself from the boundaries between disciplines to sublimate their codes. On stage and on screen, the actors are at the center of the connecting operations: depth of field, shifting points of view, the camera captures emotions and surprises situations.

“We’re dancing on a volcano”, said Renoir of his Fantaisie dramatique filmed in 1939. 

Christiane Jatahy orchestrates both the vaudevillian machinery and the tragic dimension of La Règle du jeu, keeping in touch with the mutations of contemporary society. Mirroring the castle of the Marquis de La Cheynaye, the stage of the Salle Richelieu becomes the setting for a mise en abyme of the game, of eras, of the here and now.
