Intro

Août 1873, Bruxelles : Paul Verlaine est condamné à deux ans de prison pour avoir tiré sur Arthur Rimbaud. Son homosexualité est retenue comme circonstance aggravante. Il passera 555 jours incarcéré à Mons.

Verlaine en prison plonge au cœur de cette période décisive, où le poète maudit, brisé par la violence et l’abandon, renoue avec la foi de son enfance et compose certains des textes qui nourriront Sagesse, Jadis et Naguère ou Parallèlement.

Écrit et interprété par le contre-ténor belge Logan Lopez Gonzalez, en collaboration avec la metteure en scène Eleanor Burke, le spectacle fait entendre Verlaine avec ses propres mots : lettres à Rimbaud, extraits de Mes prisons, fragments autobiographiques. Ses poèmes résonnent à travers les mélodies de Gabriel Fauré, Reynaldo Hahn, Claude Debussy, Léo Ferré ou encore Edgard Varèse.

Soutenu par la pianiste Stella Marie Lorenz et la soprano Anna Sideris, Logan Lopez Gonzalez incarne un Verlaine fragile et incandescent. Plus qu’un portrait biographique, Verlaine en prison est une immersion sensible dans l’âme d’un poète. Entre clair-obscur et musicalité, il révèle la puissance d’une parole qui, même enfermée, demeure irréductiblement libre.
