JACK THE RIPPER
Based on Robert Desnos - Cie Théâtre du Projecteur - staged and designed by Jean-Gabriel Chobaz - November 30 to December 19, 2021
Performed on stage by : Stéphane Rentznik
Music : Jerome Baur
Jean-Gabriel Chobaz was inspired by the film Split to reinvent and give a new dimension to Jack the Ripper. Split tells the true story of Billy Milligan who suffered from a dissociative identity disorder. Several personalities cohabited in the body and mind of this man. Here, Jack is inhabited by eight different characters.
Jack : "By day, I am a friendly, attentive boy, I am an ordinary boy.
At night, I am an extraordinary boy. I am on the hunt.
I go to the underbelly of London, I haunt the smoky pubs, I roam the alleys of Whitechapel, looking for a prostitute or an alcoholic, a "Fallen Angel" who desperately needs money... Need me."
