Poster for the show “Charlotte Salomon”

Avignon OFF 2019

Charlotte Salomon

5 – 28 July 2019 at 19h55

Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon

An emblematic figure, a song, a cry, a life, a body of work. She was 25, beautiful, passionate and sensitive, and loved every form of art. She was a painter. Her name was Charlotte, Charlotte Salomon. She was Jewish, and it was wartime. She left us a magnificent and tragic autobiographical work, unique in the history of art: Leben? oder Theater? (Life? or Theatre?)

Luminous and full of hope, it is Charlotte’s voice that we want you to discover and hear today, beyond the turmoil of time.

Our pick: Charlotte Salomon. A gem, a pearl to discover among the thousand shows of the OFF.

The young, exceptional and luminous Swan Starosta is wonderful as an endearing Charlotte, a true revelation. Jérôme Frey accompanies her, moving deftly from one character to another. – City Local News

A deeply sensitive evocation. – Théâtre côté cœur

Anne-Marie Cellier’s text is remarkably delicate and poetic. – La Galerie du spectacle

Fred Tournaire’s magnificent staging makes Charlotte Salomon a moment of intense emotion and an aesthetically splendid piece of work that leaves you stunned. A very beautiful show. – Froggy’s Delight
