P assep or V studies mindless bureaucracy
Pierre Bourgeade's one-act play Le
Passeport is a quaint piece of French
bric-a-brac, an odd blend of existential
ism, absurdity and character study.
Wednesday night's performance in
Playmakers Theatre, given by students
in the department of Romance lan
guages, was odd enough. For one thing,
the play was performed in its original
language, and for another, it was the
American premiere of the work, which
debuted in Paris only last winter.
Le Passeport takes place in Russia
around the turn of the century. Nathalia
Vissarinovna, a peasant woman, is
about to receive a passport permitting
her to go to Poland to visit her nephews.
She put in the request 25 years before,
and since then a strange relationship has
developed between her and the customs
officer, Fedor Fedorovich.
Nathalia is a simple, warm woman
who does not understand Fedor's
fanatic allegiance to bureaucracy. The
play revolves around their interaction,
particularly around Fedor and the
coldness that masks his humaneness.
It is very hard to judge a play like
Le Passeport since it is so typically
French. Bourgeade develops his ideas
as if they were characters, and while
he certainly is concerned with the
human condition, the characters still
seem secondary -- a part of the mise-en-scene.
Judging from the intricacy with
which he develops his ideas, however,
Bourgeade has written an impressive
play.
Le Passeport is a contemplation of
time. A grandfather clock occupies a
central place on the stage. Nathalia must
wait five minutes after Fedor arrives
before she can see her passport.
Bureaucracy also is a central theme.
Fedor considers himself a cog in the
gigantic wheel of government, a man
devoted to a ridiculously petty system.
After finding out that Nathalia, has
killed her chicken, her last remaining
livestock, Fedor realizes he can no
longer give her the passport since it was
issued to her while she was in category
D, those people who own livestock. She
must now reapply for category C, those
without livestock, and wait four more
years.
Once Nathalia finds a louse in the
folds of her dress, however, Fedor
considers it livestock and grants her the
passport.
There is an abundance of humor in
Steve Carr
Review
Le Passeport, and both Mari O'Brien
and Bill Owen infused their interpre
tations with good comic control.
O'Brien played Nathalia as a mousy,
sheepish woman who cannot help
herself but must depend on others. Her
15-minute scene at the beginning of the
play, where Nathalia walks around the
stage waiting for Fedor, was a little too
stylized to fit the tone of the play. In
the rest of her role, however, she was
as sensitive to Nathalia as Bourgeade's
writing permitted.
Owen gave a good tragi-comic per
formance as a man who alternated
between automaton and human being.
Such touches as tapping a matchbox,
acknowledging it as a barnyard, were
refreshing. More than once, however,
Owen upstaged O'Brien, which upset
the balance between the two.
Karine Shoulars'direction was depen
dable, although O'Brien wandered
around 4the stage too long in the
beginning. Shoulars also did not follow
Bourgeade's stage directions at the end
of the play, when Nathalia becomes
assistant customs officer. The script
instructs a spotlight to shine on Natha
lia's face while everything else is left in
utter darkness, but the lighting simply
faded out.
Wednesday's presentation was a very
good production of a difficult play.
Shoulars in particular is to be com
mended for bringing both the play and
me piuvwughi iu this country. Perhaps
she will continue to be responsible for
such diverse and different
programming.
