Miro Gavran, né en 1961, est de loin l’auteur croate contemporain le plus prolixe et le plus traduit dans le monde. Avec ses romans et ses nouvelles pour enfants, il a récolté une quinzaine  de prix littéraires internationaux parmi lesquels le Prix Littéraire international d’Europe Centrale (1999) et le Prix du Cercle Européen en 2003.
Difficile, vu de France, de mesurer la portée de cet écrivain de quarante-six ans, publié en dixsept langues. Dans la plupart des pays de l’Est, il compte parmi les références du théâtre moderne. Un festival lui est entierement dédié chaque année en Slovaquie : le Gavranfest.
Ses oeuvres sont le reflet des problématiques actuelles, de la guerre dans les Balkans a l’alter mondialisme – sujet de sa derniere piece de théâtre : How to kill the president. A côté de ses sujets a consonance politique, Gavran aime jouer avec l’Histoire, mettant en scene des rencontres entre de grandes figures et les traitant sur un mode plutôt imaginaire : Moliere et  Louis XIV dans La Nuit des dieux, Elisabeth II et Shakespeare dans Elisabeth et Shakespeare, ou Tolstoi et Tchekhov dans Tchekhov a dit adieu a Tolstoi.
Gavran a écrit sa premiere piece, L’Antigone de Créon, a l’âge de vingt-deux ans et Tchekhov a dit adieu a Tolstoi a vingt-huit ans. En parallele a une carriere de dramaturge riche d’une trentaine d’oeuvres, il s’est tres tôt engagé dans la vie théâtrale de son pays. Directeur artistique du Teatar Gavran a Zagreb, il a fondé le théâtre Epilogue qui a déja révélé bon nombre de metteurs en scene croates.
Ses principales pieces sont : La Nuit des Dieux, Les Amours de George Washington, Tchekhov dit adieu a Tolstoi, Le Mari de mon épouse, Shakespeare et Elizabeth, Déces dun comédien, Le Patient du Dr Freud, Forget Hollywood, Royauté et filous, Tout sur les femmes, Comment tuer le Président, Nora aujourdhui. Miro Gavran a également publié huit romans : Le Fils oublié (1989), Gens extraordinaires et ordinaires (recueil dhistoires courtes, 1989), Comment on se cassait les jambes (1995), Clara (1997), Margita ou une journée dans une vie antérieure (1999), Judith (2001), Saint Jean Baptiste (2002), Ponce Pilate (2004) et quelques romans pour enfants dont Plein de choses dans ma tete, Comment papa a gagné maman, Lamour aveugle, Les jours heureux, Essaie doublier. Miro Gavran est représenté en France par Patrice Montico – More Agence Conseil.


Miro Gavran:

“Tchekhov a dit Adieu a Tolstoi”

C’était une soirée étrange hier au théâtre Sylvia Montfort. Veille d’élection, retour de vacances ou autre raison, toujours est-il que le public était petit et resserré au centre de cette grande salle comme un groupe de manchots se tenant chaud. Destination Russie, alors forcément on anticipe. Les soirées d’été dans la “Clairiere Lumineuse”, villégiature de Tolstoi, peuvent etre fraîches, sait-on jamais. Un certain Tchékhov, jeune écrivain a succes, est attendu avec sa jolie comédienne d’épouse pour ce qu’il croit etre deux semaines de vacances. Mais le vieux lion (pas si fatigué qu’on croit) de la littérature russe a d’autres projets pour son invité. Quant a Sofia Tolstoi, le rôle d’épouse sacrifiée d’un grand génie lui va un peu trop bien pour ne pas éveiller la méfiance.
Miro Gavran, auteur croate contemporain né en 1961, va bien au-dela du dialogue des morts pour installer une rencontre imaginaire entre deux monstres sacrés de la littérature russe, chacun a un stade bien différent de sa carriere. Ce simple contraste, au dela des personnalités distinctes, contient en soi une richesse dramatique qu’exploite a merveille l’auteur. La soif de succes, l’ambition, l’appétit de la jeunesse de Tchékhov, face a la neurasthénie, la malice et la manipulation du vieillard. Et puis il y a les femmes (et leurs gestes pleins de charme)! Elle ne sont pas en reste, bien au contraire, au petit jeu ambiant de la subversion. L’arme atomique de la séduction est déployée aux frontieres. Tolstoi a beau prétendre que l’homme est fichu des qu’il accepte de s’unir a l’une de ces créatures, leur corps souple s’attache et ne vous lâche plus telle une sangsue, pompant toute énergie et désir de création chez son partenaire. Il n’en est pas moins sensible aux charmes de la jeune et ravissante Olga Tchékhov.
Cette piece, bien construite, intelligente et drôle, évite le piege du bavardage intellectuel entre auteurs pour se concentrer sur l’intrigue, les personnages et la tension dramatique. La notoriété de Tchékhov et Tolstoi sert surtout a alimenter le comique des situations et non a en imposer au spectateur. Pour autant l’imaginaire n’est pas tué par des clowneries superflues, et on est ravi de pouvoir enfin épier cette rencontre mythique, de voir ainsi confrontés ces grands hommes du patrimoine mondial.
La mise en scene nous installe dans l’intérieur d’une datcha stylisée, dont les volets sculptés laissent filtrer la lumiere et les sons de l’été. Juste ce qu’il faut de réalisme pour situer la piece dans son époque. Jean-Claude Drouot et sa barbe fournie campent un Tolstoi bougon, malicieux, imprévisible. Sofia, sa femme et contrepitre est solidement interprétée par Marie-France Santon. Vincent Primault étonne en Tchékhov, qu’on n’imaginait pas dans ce corps, et finit par convaincre. Camille Cottin en Olga flotte un peu entre l’amoureuse, la grisette et l’ambitieuse. Enfin le rôle muet du domestique des Tolstoi aurait pu etre mieux exploité par un jeu corporel en contrepoint du texte (danseur, mime?). Petits détails car au total, ce fut un tres bon moment.


The Festival d’Avignon, or Avignon Festival, is an annual arts festival held in French city of Avignon. Founded in 1947 by Jean Vilar, it is the oldest extant festival in France and one of the world’s greatest.

Miro Gavran’s play CREON’S ANTIGONE will be premiered on July 6 in Avignon, France, at the International Theatre Festival.

The play will be performed by the ROSEAU THEATER Company in French language by Andrea Pucnik’s translation and will be played every day at the Festival until July 28.

The directors are MF and JC BROCHE, while the main roles will be played by Mathier Barbier and Marie Broche.
