A multi-award winning bestseller that has never been adapted for the stage, "Rien ne s’oppose à la nuit" (Nothing Holds Back the Night) is the portrait of a mother, and through her, that of a family overshadowed by drama, a family as singular as it is universal.
Delphine de Vigan wrote this novel just after her mother’s suicide, thus turning the latter into a character, in an attempt to penetrate her mystery: “What was I really looking for if not to approach my mother’s pain, to probe its contours, its secret folds, its shadow?” she asks. The third of nine children, some of whom died suddenly, Lucile is a charismatic young girl who poses for fashion magazines, but is profoundly solitary and withdrawn.
This theatrical adaptation in a series of fragments, carried out by Delphine de Vigan with Elsa Lepoivre, who is also the performer of the piece, uses the principle of a direct address, going back and forth between Lucile’s story and that of the narrator. The actress’ voice is that of a novel in the making, in search of the turning points that change a life. Exploring a family history where all that is supressed festers like a curse, the narrator questions the members of her family, recalls the memories her mother shared with her, tells of her desire to escape from her novel project and of her urgent need to reconstruct her life – for herself and for future generations. Directed by Fabien Gorgeart, who recently staged Stallone by Emmanuèle Bernheim, the actress brings the story to life from a darkness reminiscent of Soulages, the painter of a “secret light from the dark” quoted in the novel’s epigraph. Rien ne s’oppose à la nuit – fragments – invites us to enter the mental space of the writer and to follow her in her quest for truth, which is certainly impossible but vital nonetheless.
