jean louis garçon | enlightened


Last night on stage, 25 minutes after the play we're playing, power outage throughout the theater block. We stopped and then a bystander turned on his phone light, then another, then another and then full and they said "we see you well." And we played like that with the spectators who enlightened us. No music or effects since no power. The cut lasted for almost an hour and the public literally enlightened us at the end of our arm. Then the juice came back 15 mins before the end. The audience applauded us a lot. On the way out, in front of the theater, there were many left, big smiles on their faces and glitter in their eyes, because they knew we lived together, a unique moment! Long live the theater and the live show for the magic it closes. For those who want to see her.
