400
Monday, 10 December 2007

Hugo wrote me from Paris:

 Yesterday we went to a small puppet theatre in the Jardinde Luxembourg where a version of Little Red Riding Hood was playing. As I sat there I realised that it was not only the same theatre that Truffaut used in 400 Coups but also exactly the same show. The first 4 rows are for children only and the call and response section threw up all those same faces and laughs and confusion that are visible in those clips we borrowed [for video-backdrops in one section of] Instructions For Forgetting.

The benches are the same too. Afterwards we asked the manager - whose father started the theatre in the thirties and made 3 or 4 and those same shows have run ever since...

Empty Stage picture to be done for sure...
