The Spaghetti Syndrome

Le syndrome du Spaghetti Theater + 12 years Compagnie Lolium/ based on the novel by Marie Vareille Il it is always delicate to adapt a bestseller to the stage, even more so when it is aimed at a wide audience of readers already won over. Yet, the Compagnie Lolium takes up this challenge with brilliance in Le Syndrome of spaghetti, offering a sensitive, fair, and deeply moving theatrical adaptation of the novel by Marie Vareille. This show takes us on the journey of Léa, a young basketball player promised a brilliant future. Her life has always been punctuated by basketball and by the presence of her father, coach, role model, and confidant. Together, they share the same dream: to see Léa one day join the prestigious American WNBA. But the brutal death of this beloved father shatters all certainties. Faced with a grief she can neither understand nor accept, Léa suddenly finds herself deprived of the one who gave meaning to her ambitions and her daily life. How to keep moving forward when the one who guided you is no longer there? How to rebuild yourself when the future you imagined seems to have collapsed? Carried by the sensitive and remarkable interpretation of Marion Zaboïtzeff, this one-woman show addresses the question of grief with great delicacy, without ever sinking into pathos. Between pain, anger, humor, love, and hope, the show tells above all the human being's ability to get back up after the ordeal. The refined staging leaves plenty of room for the spectator's imagination, while the actress brings to life with great accuracy all the characters who gravitate around Léa. Le Syndrome of spaghetti is a universal story about loss, resilience, and the encounters that help us find a path when life seems to have ganged up against us. A deeply human, moving, and luminous show, which touches adolescents as much as adults. In collaboration with the Bibliothèque de Mouscron.
