Dans La Solitude des Champs de Coton (In the Solitude of Cotton Fields) is a two-character play by the French dramatist and writer Bernard-Marie Koltès (1948–1989) in 1985.

      About the Show     

The show portrays the meeting between two unnamed strangers at an unnamed desolate spot.

The two characters are identified as the Dealer and the Client, engaged in a conversation about desire and searching. A conquering game unveils as it exploits the visceral desire and fear deeply rooted in their hearts. Though it’s clear that the stakes are high, the goods exchanged remain unspecified, which might be desire, imagination, or something unknown. The implicit transaction gradually turns into a confrontation, in other words, a duel that leads to naked antagonism. 

Suspense runs through the whole play. Like Hitchcock’ films, it arouses the curiosity, imagination and speculation of the audience. Moreover, it resembles Beckett’s Waiting for Godot that prompts the audience to think: “what do they really want and what they are looking for”.

DANS LA SOLITUDE DES CHAMPS DE COTON is a production directed by Alain Timár, award-winning artistic director from Theatre des Halles. DANS LA SOLITUDE DES CHAMPS DE COTON is the magnum opus of Bernard Marie Koltès, the most prominent French playwright of the late twentieth century. He was regarded as the heir apparent to the legacy left by Jean Genet and Samuel Beckett. His plays are featured by ‘tension' and the lyricism, notably the classic of contemporary theatre works.

大都市的一个角落，两个素不相识的人偶然相遇，会发生什么?

这是一个推销者和一个顾客之间关于欲望和寻找的对话，一场征服和被征服的游戏。在试探、碰撞、争斗、撕咬、温存与和解中，探究着内心最深和最远的欲望与恐惧。他们之间的交换是欲望、是想象、是未知。剧中人相互诱惑，在时而坦诚裸露、时而遮掩摩擦的关系中，进行着一场不可言喻的交易，甚至更像是一场较量。

全剧贯穿始终的悬念，像希区柯克的电影一样引发观众的好奇、遐想和猜测，又如同另一位大师贝克特的作品《等待戈多》一样引发观众的思考：什么是他们真正想要的，什么是他们正在找寻的？

来自阿维尼翁最负盛名的公立剧院奥勒剧院(Theatre des Halles)、由屡获大奖的剧院艺术总监 Alain Timár 亲自执导。《孤寂棉田》 是法国已故天才戏剧大师贝尔纳·玛丽·科尔泰斯(Bernard-Marie Koltès)代表作，他是 20 世纪末法国最耀眼的剧作家明星，被视作热奈再世、贝克特的接班人。其剧作最大的魅力就是“张力”，每一句都是诗，节奏、声韵，堪称世界当代戏剧经典。

     HIGHTLIGHTS OF THE SHOW     

“Un grand hanger désffacté, avec une lumière crépusculaire, très cinématographique.”

——La Provence

一个被改造的厂房，配合着昏暗的灯光，这场发生在舞台上的“对战”同样充满了电影色彩 ——《普罗旺斯报》

“Le mot désir, jalonne la pièce, c’est le réacteur, et il n’arrive pas à définir, il reste devant la question du désir. Ça, c’est la miroir de l’humanité.”—— AVINEWS

欲望，是涵盖在这场“对抗”中的关键词。它没有被直接定义，却揭露了人们生活中的许多问题。那些无力实现的欲望， 有时候成了每个人的镜子 ——《AVI 新闻》

“Toute la pièce repose sur les préludes du conflit, souligné par le son de la batterie qui fait sursauter le public et rythme les emportements de ce duo de comédiens, qui fera parler de lui dès ce soir et pour longtemps.” ——Boîte à culture

整部剧以冲突的序幕为基础,以震耳的爵士鼓声来突出这两位演员互相飙戏的节奏感, 这部作品从你观看的这个晚上直到之 后很长一段时间一定会被一直谈论起 ——《文化盒》

Alain Timar avait essayé d’imaginer la batterie avec son côté frappé et frotté. Cela crée des climats. Comme si la batterie avait la vocation d’un monde intérieur. Pour Alain, cette pièce est une sorte de trilogue.——VAUCLUSE MATIN

对于导演Alain Timar来说，这出戏有三个人在说话。爵士鼓手的加入，使整出戏更有温度。导演试图用鼓声去帮助大家想象人物的内心世界。——沃克吕兹晨报
