Inconnu à Cette Adresse (tournée)

Inconnu à cette adresse at Le Toboggan

At Le Toboggan, we welcome Inconnu à cette adresse as a vital theatrical encounter designed for the clarity, intimacy, and resonance of our stage. This letter-driven drama, so spare in its means and so expansive in its moral reach, thrives in a space where silence speaks as loudly as the spoken word. Our hall’s finely tuned acoustics, balanced sightlines, and calibrated lighting plan have been tailored for the deliberate cadence of an epistolary performance: every intake of breath, every pause in the exchange, carries the weight of a choice made or deferred. The staging that audiences will discover at Le Toboggan magnifies the duality at the heart of the piece—two correspondents, two rooms, two consciences separating by imperceptible degrees—through simple but telling visual motifs and a sound design that suspends time between letters. We take pride in hosting a production that rewards attentiveness, preserves the text’s rigor, and invites our audience to lean in, listen, and consider what happens when friendship is tested by ideology.

A touring event with contemporary urgency

As part of a broad tournée, Inconnu à cette adresse arrives at Le Toboggan with the assuredness of a production that has honed its rhythm from night to night, yet retains a live-wire immediacy. The creative team’s approach emphasizes clarity and restraint: a minimal set that places the performers at the center; a choreography of letters exchanged and withheld; and visual textures—ink, paper, shadow—that render private decisions startlingly public. We have followed the piece’s journey closely across stages where it has sparked conversation and reflection, and we are honored to offer our audience the same opportunity for shared thinking and feeling. In our auditorium, the specificity of the 1930s setting unfolds as a present-tense experience: the slow drift from affectionate banter to chilling formality; the shifting tone of each missive as social pressures mount; the fate implied by a postal stamp, a simple salutation, a signature. It is drama distilled to its essentials, a reminder that the most consequential choices often arrive in small envelopes.

Presenting this work at Le Toboggan, we have prepared an environment that supports its intimate scale while welcoming the larger civic conversation it invites. Ushers and technical teams will guide you to a listening space free of distraction, where the performers’ vocal detail and physical precision can be fully appreciated. The evening at our venue highlights the power of dramaturgy over décor, trusting the audience to meet the piece halfway and complete its meanings. For those discovering Inconnu à cette adresse for the first time, the production offers an unhurried path into its moral labyrinth; for returning admirers, this touring edition reveals new facets in the performers’ timing and the staging’s architectural use of distance and proximity. We encourage you to arrive with time to settle, to watch the room fill, to sense the quiet before the first words cross the space—because in this production, every second counts. By bringing the tournée to our stage, we reaffirm a core belief at Le Toboggan: that theater can be transparent and unsparing, intimate and communal, and that a dialogue begun in fiction can return us, more deeply, to the world we share.
