  • Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare
    Périclès, Prince de Tyr de William Shakespeare Mise en scène – Declan Donnellan Scénographie – Nick Ormerod Suite à Ubu Roi en 2013/14/15, Declan Donnellan et Nick Ormerod reviendront à la langue française avec une création de PÉRICLÈS de Shakespeare en 2018 et 2019. Avec PÉRICLÈS, la compagnie signera sa première création de Shakespeare en langue française, pièce qui complétera son cycle des quatre 'romances tardives' de Shakespeare, après Cymbeline (2007), La tempête (2011) et Le conte d'hiver (2015). Nous sommes à la recherche de co-producteurs et de partenaires pour réaliser cette nouvelle création. Ubu Roi a été présenté pendant 34 semaines sur trois continents, et dans des villes comme Paris, Londres, New York, Moscou, Madrid et Venise. A propos d'Ubu Roi : « Donnellan obtient des interprétations sans retenue de sa troupe … le déchainement d’un champ de bataille au sein d'un univers chic et raffiné. » – The Guardian (Royaume-Uni) « Outrancière, débordente d'une énergie sans retenue » – Le Figaro (France) PÉRICLÈS, prince de Tyr PÉRICLÈS est l’une des plus étonnantes et bouleversantes des œuvres de Shakespeare. Naufragé au large de la mer méditerranée, Périclès est contraint de braver une marée de pirates, de ravisseurs et de magiciens ; de bordels, de tournois et de complots … et jusqu’à une intervention divine de la déesse Diane. Inceste, trahison, meurtre, amour et joie s’entremêlent dans ce feu d'artifice théâtral, puis, à la lumière tamisée de ses braises, Périclès retrouve sa fille Marina dans l’une des plus belles scènes que Shakespeare ait jamais écrites.

  • In Conversation with Declan Donnellan1
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 19 (34), 2019; http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2083-8530.19.08 ∗ Nicole Fayard “Making Things Look Disconcertingly Different”: In Conversation with Declan Donnellan1 Abstract: In this interview acclaimed director Declan Donnellan, co-founder of the company Cheek by Jowl, discusses his experience of performing Shakespeare in Europe and the attendant themes of cultural difference, language and translation. Donnellan evokes his company’s commitment to connecting with audiences globally. He keeps returning to Shakespeare, as his theatre enables the sharing of our common humanity. It allows a flesh-and-blood carnal interchange between the actors and the audience which directly affects individuals. This interchange has significant consequences in terms of translation and direction. Keywords: Declan Donnellan; Cheek by Jowl; Shakespeare in Europe; Translation; Direction; Archetypes; Brexit. I Declan Donnellan is well-known as “one of the most original directors working in theatre today” (Le Figaro). He co-founded the company Cheek by Jowl in 1981 and is its joint Artistic Director with his life partner and the company designer, Nick Ormerod. Both artists are renowned for staging innovative productions focused on the skills of the actors and have been repeatedly acclaimed as “responsible for some of the most imaginative and revelatory classical performances [seen over the past] decades” (New York Times). They produce work in English, French and Russian and have performed in about 400 cities in fifty countries over six continents (Cheek by Jowl). Donnellan has to date directed over thirty productions, with half from the Shakespearean repertoire, such as the world-acclaimed As You Like It (1991) with Adrian Lester, performed with an all-male cast, The Winter’s Tale (Maly ∗ University of Leicester, UK.

With actors in casual modern dress and the intelligent use of simple sets, director Declan Donnellan, who won a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale this summer, renders the time- and location-shifting storyline fluidly and clearly. This production puts the Sicilian king Leontes (Orlando James, who played the title role in the staged Shakespeare in Love in London) at the center, portraying him as in constant conflict with himself. His unfounded suspicion and refusal to be reasoned with lead to the tragic fulfillment of the oracle “the king shall live without an heir if that which is lost be not found.” With its usual high energy, the entire company infuses this classic tale with heightened drama, crackling hilarity, and genuine emotion.
