Alone on stage, he is Tony, a building goalkeeper on the eve of the retirement, who resists as he can go for time, in the din of the world, with the loneliness that is announced. This ordinary character, played by Pierre Forest opens the doors of his lodge like those of his heart. And what we discover there is a world too often invisible: that of those who watch, in the shadows, on others.
Temple guardian
Pierre Forest, rewarded with a Moliรจre and immense theater actor, signs here a performance of disarming sincerity. Not a false note, not a word too supported. He embodies Tony with a moving modesty, a humor tinged with bitterness, a rough tenderness.
The text of Aude de Tocqueville, inspired by dozens of real testimonies, avoids any miserabilism. He says life in his crudity, but also in his poetry.
At a time when individualism triumphs and where the trades of the shadow are neglected or even despised, Loneliness of a guardian angel has the effect of an essential recall: without these anonymous, what would we be? In less than an hour, the actor manages to upset, make people laugh, move, and, perhaps more, to make people think.
