Theater project

I played in a play called Cyrano de Bergerac that takes place in France during the renaissance. This is the story of a “love triangle” between three persons that are completely different: Cyrano de Bergerac, Christian and Roxanne. The main character of the play is Cyrano who’s in love with her pretty cousin Roxanne, just like Christian is. Actually, both of the men are in love with her, but she only does love the young and pretty Christian. The thing is, Christian is not able to talk to women without looking silly. That is why Cyrano will do a pact with the young man: He’ll write the letters for him while he will use his body to charm her. Brief, the two men team up to conquer the heart of Roxanne. I played the main role of the play: Cyrano de Bergerac. I discovered while acting that his is very handsome and skilful with his sword.

I do think that this project was a nice experience for all of the students who acted in a play, especially for me. I’m sure I discovered a talent for that art and I would like to develop it a bit more next year. Further more, this project improved my confidence and that’s why I believe that this was a great opportunity to be myself on the scene. I only have one negative comment about this “activity”: We didn’t have enough time to prepare ourselves for the final representation. I think this is why the cohesion wasn’t always present during some plays. But like I mentioned before, the overall project is very good.

I wouldn’t say I discovered a passion while playing my role, but I wouldn’t say neither that I disliked to act Cyrano de Bergerac. This was a new experience for many students including me. I think I do have a talent in theater if I compare myself to other students in secondary four. Finally, I think I discovered that I can do a good performance even when I’m under pressure! Well, here is a picture of the play Cyrano de Bergerac witch I acted in.
