Sur le Divan avec Nora Armani - Un spectacle d'auteur de et par Nora Armani

Apr?s une tourn?e Nord Am?ricaine (Los Angeles, Chicago, D?troit, Philadelphie, Montr?al et New York), un grand succ?s au New End Theatre ? Londres (On the Couch with Nora Armani) et quelques lectures et repr?sentations en France notamment en juin Au Chat Noir, Nora Armani nous offre encore une occasion de l'?couter dans son spectacle d'auteur.

Sur le Divan avec Nora Armani a ?t? diffus?e en entier ? la radio Aligre FM le 19 juillet dernier dans un enregistrement fait en direct lors d'une des repr?sentations Au Chat Noir en juin dernier.

'The Stage', 'On Line Review London', 'Time Out' et 'Camden New Journal', ont, ? l'unanimit? parl? tr?s favorablement du jeu ainsi que de l'?criture de la com?dienne. - " …fluide et attrayant…souvent humoristique et toujours humaine…un texte d'auteur, aux multiples facettes… " THE STAGE - " …?crit et interpr?t? avec beaucoup d'?nergie… superbe com?dienne… extr?mement naturelle… elle a une grande pr?sence." ONLINE REVIEW LONDON - " Apr?s cela on reste sans voix. On ne peut rien dire, la voix de Nora reste, et les images de l'Egypte, les trains d'Alep, on pourrait presque sentir les abricots d'Arm?nie. Merci. " CAROLINE - Londres 'extrait du livre d'or.

En octobre prochain, Nora Armani est invit?e ? participer, en tant qu'intervenante, ? une conf?rence sur l'identit? nationale en Europe de l'Est ? l'Universit? de Harvard, ? Boston, o? elle parle des composants et des symboles de l'identit? arm?nienne dans La Couleur de Grenade de Sergei Paradjanov.

Com?dienne ? l'accent charmeur, n?e en ?gypte et partageant aujourd'hui sa vie entre Paris et Londres, Nora Armani est une artiste multilingue. Apr?s des ?tudes de sociologie ? Londres, la jeune Cairote d?cide de suivre "les voix de son c?ur" : les voies du th??tre. Elle joue alors Shakespeare, Beckett, Shaw et Guitry et s'embarque pour un ?tourdissant tour du monde avec Le Chant d'Ararat, pr?sent? dans vingt-cinq villes et partout accueilli avec un fabuleux succ?s, notamment au Festival d'Avignon.

Invit?e en Arm?nie o? elle tourne plusieurs films, elle devient ambassadrice du Minist?re de la Culture arm?nien. Le prix de "meilleure com?dienne" lui est attribu? en Arm?nie. Sa carri?re et son talent de renomm?e internationale lui valent de nombreuses r?compenses. Nora Armani est surtout une femme de sc?ne, elle revient donc sur les planches en Angleterre o? elle interpr?te entre autres le r?le d'H?l?ne Weigel, femme de Bertolt Brecht, dans une pi?ce de G?nter Grass ? Londres. A Paris elle joue dans La F?te Virile de Fatima Gall?re, Couples du Monde et Nannto Nannto. Elle tourne dans les films de Catherine Corsini et de Laurent Dussaut. Apr?s de nombreux r?les, son talent se refl?te dans l'?criture. En s'inspirant de sa propre vie, elle monte ainsi Sur le Divan avec Nora Armani , un astucieux m?lange de traditions culturelles.
