«Brutus Préférez-vous César vivant, et mourir esclaves, ou César mort, et tous vivre libres ? César m'aimait, je le pleure. Il connut le succès, je m'en réjouis. Il fut vaillant, je l'honore. Mais il fut ambitieux et je l'ai tué. Pour son amitié, des larmes. Pour sa fortune, un souvenir joyeux. Pour sa valeur, du respect. Et pour son ambition, la mort. Qui parmi vous est assez vil pour accepter d'être esclave ? Si un tel homme existe, qu'il parle. Car lui, je l'ai offensé. Qui est assez grossier pour ne pas désirer d'être un Romain ? Si un tel homme existe, qu'il parle. Car lui, je l'ai offensé. Qui est abject au point de n'aimer pas son pays ? Si un tel homme existe, qu'il parle. Car lui, je l'ai offensé.» (Acte III, scène 2)

Jules César

Roméo et Juliette est incontestablement un sommet du répertoire shakespearien et fait presque partie intégrante de notre mémoire collective. Après avoir mis en scène, aux Pays-Bas, le Roméo et Juliette de Gounod dirigé par Marc Minkowski, Olivier Py est revenu au texte original pour y chercher autre chose que la triste histoire damour que lopéra semble en avoir retenu. Une conviction sest alors imposée à lui : sils saiment, ces deux amants sublimes, cest parce que leur amour est impossible. Ce nest pas malgré le monde, la société, les préjugés, lhostilité entre les deux familles ou leurs propres penchants quéclate le coup de foudre, cest précisément grâce à tous ces obstacles. Comme si le monde se déchirait, et que souvrait alors la liberté du monde vrai. Cest cette liberté inaugurale, bien plus que la fatalité dune course à labîme qui a retenu lattention dOlivier Py.

Il n'y a pas de saison théâtrale sans qu'une ou plusieurs pièces de Shakespeare ne soit inscrite au programme. C'est le dramaturge le plus joué dans le monde. À juste titre. Ses pièces mettent en situation des conflits humains de toujours, des peurs ancestrales, des ambitions meurtrières, des angoisses existentielles. Othello, Hamlet, Prospero, Lady Macbeth sont certes des figures historiques, mais ils nous ressemblent ou, plutôt, nous leur ressemblons toujours. Et tant qu'il y aura des hommes, les pièces de Shakespeare leur fourniront les mots pour dire leur grandeur et leur détresse, leur générosités et leur mesquinerie, leur bassesse et leur poésie.
