“The Lighthouse is the story of a man living on a lonely island. Surrounded daily by the turbulent waters of the sea, she opens up the most sensitive parts of her life and shares her greatest joys. What is human life like on an island from which only the birds escape, and no one else knows what darkness is in the middle of the sea? A lighthouse dweller invites you to explore a world of fantasy and opens up the recesses of her lonely life. It remains unclear which reality is more real – the one when we close our eyes or when we open them?
Timotée de Fombelle, the author of the play, says he wanted to tell a story about loneliness. A man who is unaware of the rest of the world, who lives surrounded by his own little memories, on an island of rocks and birds. It is a piece about a man whose whole life is a lighthouse. Here, everyday life merges with the seasons and the horizon haunts us all the time. And reality is at its brightest when we close our eyes.
