And what if letters to friends, invitations, misplaced letters, registered mail, greeting cards, voice notes, crumpled balls of paper, or other coded messages were transformed into theatrical experiences? As part of her upcoming creation, Florence Minder begins a "correspondence" with audiences through offbeat short forms, blending reality and fiction.

"My mailbox was my hiding place. It connected me to the rest of the world and held, in the magic of its darkness, the power to create events." (Paul Auster, The Locked Room, 1968)

​

The performing arts continually allow us to build and deconstruct fictions. If today there are particularly aggressive appropriations of fictional modes by techno-fascism, the point is to circumvent them and reclaim them for ourselves — by playing with what happens to us, with awareness and hope in the age-old, subversive power of play.

​

Each "performed letter" will take the diverted form of a dialogue with one or several addressees, real or imagined. Audiences will be able to choose to correspond with the artistic team, through different channels — written, audio, visual…

Welcome to the correspondence! Good reading awaits.
