BERNADETTE OF LOURDES is the story of the fascinating and inspiring Marian apparitions to the young Bernadette SOUBIROUS. It is with the help of official reports that it is possible to reconstruct Bernadette's adventure and make it a touching and unifying show. Using authentic documents, we will reconstruct the meetings she had with Commissioner JACOMET, Father PEYRAMALE, the imperial prosecutor of Lourdes, Vital DUTOUR, Louis VEILLEUX, Bishop LAURENCE, the TARDHIVAIL sisters, etc. It is with her own words that we will reconstruct the thread of her story. Her family, her meeting with Mary, her calm and humble struggle to defend her story to skeptical adults. The journey of a teenager like any other who will have to try to explain a unique and disturbing experience. With music by GRÉGOIRE and directed by Serge DENONCOURT, lyricists Lionel FLORENCE and Patrice GUIRAO will offer us an incursion into the heart of the protagonists' heartbreak. Throughout her story, we will be transported from the police station to the cave, from the family dungeon to the presbytery and we will try with her to understand a little better what is happening to her. "The best proof of the apparition is Bernadette herself." [Abbé POMIAN]
