Pierrette DUPOYET evokes Odette Abadi
July 15, 2008
Pierrette DUPOYET, actress, is appearing at the 2008 Avignon Festival in her play “L’orchestre en sursis” (The Orchestra on Borrowed Time).
Pierrette Dupoyet wrote the text and did the directing and the lighting, and she is alone on stage in this play inspired by Fania Fénelon’s book about the women’s orchestra of Auschwitz.
In this text she evokes, among others, the figure of Odette Rosenstock-Abadi.
The play has been very well received. The press reviews are numerous and full of praise.
