Personne (15+)

Liminal Theatre Company presents Personne based on Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. In this early novel, Mishima takes us on an intimate journey of self-discovery triggered by his sexual awakening, against the backdrop of the final days of a losing war. He discovers his forbidden desire for men and a dark fascination with death and violence: an inner world he conceals under a self-conscious public mask. Following the paths of Mishima’s story, Personne is a quest for authenticity through narration and play. Etymologically, the word ‘personne’ refers to the actor’s mask. It means an ‘individual of the human species, without distinction of sex’; an individual, defined by his awareness of existing as a biological, moral and social being’*. In French, ‘personne’ also means ‘no one’.

With English subtitles at 20:30.

*Theodore Jouffroy, Mélanges Philosophiques, 1833.
