Axelle and Axel, both engineers and statisticians, are among the 14% of couples unable to have children. One day, they decide to take 15-year-old Blanquette into their home. But for all their knowledge of numbers, they find themselves at a loss when faced with a teenager who doesn’t fit into a box or barcode. Like Mr. Seguin’s goat [from the novel by Alphonse Daudet], Blanquette dreams of freedom. Created in collaboration with the most recent cohort from ENSATT, 4.7% de liberté is typical of the poetic, magical productions created by La Cordonnerie theatre company.
After training as an actor with Les Trois Huit theatre company in Lyon, Samuel Hercule founded La Cordonnerie in 1997. Also a musician and director, he created his first light-hearted and unconventional shows with Timothée Jolly. He has also made several short films and music videos that have won awards at numerous festivals.
Métilde Weyergans trained as an actor at the Cours Jean Périmony in Paris. She has worked as a freelance journalist covering film festivals, an assistant director and a script reader and has selected short films for the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. It was there that she met Samuel Hercule.
They have worked together since 2003, reinventing and reappropriating tales and adapting literary landmarks, including Hamlet by Shakespeare and legends such as Frankenstein. They are constantly perfecting an innovative form of theatrical writing: the ciné-spectacle, a performance combining film, music, and theatre.
