By bringing together in an impressionistic way extracts of phrases from the world of work and its organisation, Ariane Loze creates a show whose strangeness surprises.

The first sentences could make us think of snippets of conversations gleened from a cocktail party, we recognise the contemporary all-entrepreneurship mixed with an ideology of ideal management. Behind the dialogues are reflections on work, its constraints and the space for freedom that everyone is looking for within the framework that they create or are subject to. And what about these people who work? Do they talk about work or activity, passion or flexible hours?

Ariane Loze observes, with a precise and profoundly watchful eye, the world in which we live and reports on it with her voice, gesture and body language, letting the words one and all pass through her.

As a guest on a set of a film in the making, the spectator discovers different characters coming to life on the theater stage, simultaneously a film studio. Ariane Loze, playing alternately the different characters in attendance, pushes the spectator into a fragmented timeline, like the rushes of a film.

The play, Bonheur Entrepreneur, also testifies to our relationship with time. How much time do we dedicate to work? How do we envisage the time that remains once a working day is over?

Press Review

Il y a de quoi nous rendre fou-folle, et c’est cette solitude assumée et démultipliée, cette schizophrénie patente qui nous menacent tous·tes qu’Ariane Loze incarne, littéralement.

La comédienne Ariane Loze excelle à démonter les rapports de force en entreprise et à incarner le choc de ses forces vives. Drôle et grinçant.

Etre heureux rend-il plus productif ? Alors, Ariane Loze prend la question au sérieux (un peu !) et tente d’y répondre avec un humour cinglant, une autodérision magistrale et un don de transformation indéniable !

Ariane Loze et ses doubles signent « Bonheur Entrepreneur » entre théâtre et cinéma en direct avec une actrice, elle même, unique et multiple. Fascinant.
