This show is a theatrical tribute to Jack Ralite, minister, member of parliament, senator, mayor of Aubervilliers and one-of-a-kind communist – “I write the word “communisthme” with a “th”, like an isthmus, because that’s exactly what it is”.
Christian Gonon adapts Karelle Ménine’s work, an anthology of interviews, texts and public speeches by this theatre enthusiast who died in 2017 and had worked to promote culture as a crucible of social cohesion: “Speaking the words of Jack Ralite is an act of resistance to all renunciations. Cultural, political or poetic. A full and generous resistance that draws its strength from a sensitive understanding of human beings. A resistance armed only with the spoken word and the clairvoyance of the poets. Their voices, which we no longer know how to hear. A companionship that raises us up to higher things. Vitez spoke of the actor following in the poet’s footsteps, like a walker in the sand. So that time does not erase them. I try to walk the paths of all Jack Ralite’s struggles, of all his acts of defiance, I slip into his thinking like into a suit of light At every crossroads I meet Aragon, Char, Hugo, Vilar, Saint-John Perse, Baudelaire... Whenever asked the recurrent question: ‘Why do you write?’, the poet’s answer will always be simply: ‘To live better’.”
