The Written Note is an Ode to happiness. A fragile thread along which the meeting between young Célestine Olivier Myata and her great-aunt Murasaki Chizuko is drawn.
The Written Note is an Ode to happiness. A fragile thread along which the meeting between young Célestine Olivier Myata and her great-aunt Murasaki Chizuko is drawn.
A short moment out of time and space while the memory of Hiroshima comes back to surface. Men’s craziness has transformed Chizuko. Her tranquil strength will help her ignite the awakening of Célestine.

L’Écrit, a poetic fable that speaks of life, death and the suffering of Hiroshima survivor. With plenty of fineness, wisdom and humor […] People’s gestures are precise, symbols are powerful. The creators of L’Écrit have succeeded to create a zen ambiance from the orient with the light, music and even the small song from the spring.

Esthetics take a big place in this philosophical odyssey. The form is so that it makes it possible for both young and grown ups to contemplate an issue that might appear to be complex. […] Blessed are those who will have a beautiful journey like Ubus Théâtre
