Losing Your Bag

This work-in-progress one-woman piece is a collaboration between renowned French playwright Pascal Rambert and actress Pauline Chalamet. The play follows a young woman with a master’s degree who is—temporarily—a window cleaner. Over the course of the performance, she expresses her anger at social stratification and grapples with loneliness in a world divided between “people who succeed and people who are nothing.”

Losing Your Bag comes to Princeton before making its English-language premiere at L’Alliance New York’s Crossing the Line Festival in November. Rambert, who was a Visiting Belknap Fellow in the Council of the Humanities and Visiting Lecturer at Princeton University, returns to Seuls en Scène for the eighth time this year.
