Les Possédés d’Illfurth

Les Possédés d’Illfurth

Munstrum Théâtre

I have been told the story of the “Possessed of Illfurth” since I was a little boy. It happened in my village in Alsace. My grandfather lived in the old Burner family home. I was always fascinated by that story. What strange «evil» were these two little boys suffering from? If this question did haunt me as a child, today, other questions arise. How do our beliefs shape our relationship to reality, to morality? Why do we need to believe? Today, by what do we allow ourselves to be possessed?

Lionel Lingelser

It is without a mask that Lionel Lingelser brings us the intimate story of Helios, his autofictive double. He summons his demons, goes in search of his «intimate wound». He draws an imaginary and poetic thread between both stories in an initiatory journey that celebrates the power of the imagination and asserts the life-saving power of theatre.

With this solo, the Munstrum Theatre pays a vibrant tribute to the part of childhood and innocence where all fantasies are possible, which helps the imagination to transform itself into a refuge, an unshakable fortress in the face of reality.
