top<br />

toupie<br />

In the dark and cruel depths of society, a little girl tells of her<br />

desperate quest for maternal love. A spinning top which she always<br />

has on her is the only toy her mother ever gave her... The great<br />

Russian poet Ossip Mandelstam said that tragedy is revealed<br />

wherever there arises the risk of losing what at all cost must not be<br />

lost. With Top, Vassily Sigarev claims his place as a repres<strong>en</strong>tative<br />

of the dramatic g<strong>en</strong>re which I would call crude tragedy (maternaïa<br />

traguedia in Russian). The author of over tw<strong>en</strong>ty plays, translated<br />

and performed in several languages, Sigarev has received numerous<br />

awards, including being pres<strong>en</strong>ted the prize for ‘most promising<br />

contemporary playwright’ by Tom Stoppard during the Ev<strong>en</strong>ing<br />

Standard Awards ceremony in 2002.<br />

Dans les bas-fonds sourds et cruels, une fillette raconte sa quête<br />

désespérée de l’amour maternel. Une toupie dont elle ne se sépare<br />

jamais est l’unique jouet offert par sa mère... <strong>Le</strong> grand poète russe<br />

Ossip Mandelstam disait que la tragédie se révèle là où surgit<br />

le risque de perdre ce qui <strong>en</strong> aucun cas ne doit être perdu. Avec<br />

Toupie, Vassily Sigarev s’affirme <strong>en</strong> tant que représ<strong>en</strong>tant du g<strong>en</strong>re<br />

dramatique que je nommerais la tragédie grossière (maternaïa<br />

traguedia <strong>en</strong> russe). Auteur d’une vingtaine de pièces, traduites et<br />

jouées <strong>en</strong> plusieurs langues, primées de nombreuses récomp<strong>en</strong>ses, il<br />

a reçu <strong>en</strong> 2002, des mains de Tom Stoppard, lors de la cérémonie<br />

Ev<strong>en</strong>ing Standard Award, le prix du « plus prometteur des auteurs<br />

du <strong>théâtre</strong> contemporain ».
