L’hybridité de la voix actoriale : « le parlé-chanté » : Marina Hands et Éric Ruf dans Phèdre de Jean Racine et Partage de midi de Paul Claudel

In the production of Patrice Chéreau (Phèdre to Jean Racine, Théâtre de l’Odéon, Paris – 2003) and Yves Beaunesne (Noon Sharing to Paul Claudel, Comédie-Française, Paris – 2007), the voice to Marina Hands (Aricie, first and Ysé, second) and Éric Ruf (Hippolyte, first and Mesa, second) is questionable. Do these actors speak or sing? How does the “spoken-sing” appear? To do so, our reflection is divided into three parts. The first two parts are devoted to those creations of Patrice Chéreau and Yves Beaunesne. Have they spoken operas? The last part focuses on Marina Hands and Éric Ruf’s interpretations to demonstrate that these actors are “sacred monsters” who sing language in verses.
