The Theatre Director

In this episode Laura speaks with Thomas Pondevie, Co-Director of the theatre company, La Compagnie Babel.  Thomas Pondevie and Elise Chatauret have brought their French production of the play Fathers to the Brixton House theatre.  The play is a line of enquiry about fatherhood & family, and addresses, 'How can we imagine fatherhood outside of the patriarchy?'  It is based on interviews (the practice of documentary theatre) and the end result is a very special show with portraits of fathers played by two male actors on stage.  I hope you enjoy learning about the play, how it was created and the aim of the production.  To find out more visit: www.compagniebabel.com  Mother of All Solutions is hosted and produced by Laura Broderick, with music by Ros Fraser. The sound clips from Fathers in this episode were created by Maxime Tisserand.
