UK and French representatives met yesterday (November 4) to discuss fishing licences
which have been causing tension between the two countries
While the French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clément Beaune described the talks with Britain’s Brexit Minister Lord David Frost as “useful and positive”
he also acknowledged that “there is still a lot of work to be done and there are significant differences in position”
The Brexit deal states that both UK and EU boats will be granted licences to fish in each other’s waters if they can prove that they had been fishing there between February 2017 and January 2020
there have been disputes over how much evidence is needed to prove this
which has led to the UK and Jersey denying licences to dozens of French boats and France seizing a British trawler
as well as making various threats of retaliation
we look at three French expressions related to fish:
This expression refers to a look exchanged between lovers – completely enamoured and
this expression was used in the 18th century in the form of faire des yeux de carpe frite
Silent cinema in the 20th century gave the expression much of its meaning
as actors would have to really exaggerate their facial expressions to convey emotions
It is said to date to the 20th century and be inspired by fish merchants who had a reputation for being loud and aggressive
It could also relate to the fact that rotten fish have no value for merchants and would be thrown away
to ‘shout at someone like a rotten fish’ would mean to give them as little consideration as one would a rotten fish
This expression means that something suspicious is going on
The English equivalent might be ‘I smell a rat’
It is said to have been coined in the Middle Ages
which avoid light and spend much of their time during the day in the shade of rocks
Both animals are associated with cunningness and deception
the position of the eel in this expression – under the rock – indicates something hidden
The ‘anguille’ also alludes to the verb ‘guiller’
which in Old French meant to deceive or trick

In the creative process of this latest production
I wanted to go back to a set aesthetic which is more similar to my previous theatre productions where the set war poor
This space is covered step by step with simple elements which lead us to different places
as if they were the season of a time passing by
I tell Gianluca which embodies in that moment the circus’ poetic sign: pain will go by
sadness will go by and joy will come back again
In this production you can find the whole story of my company
I could say: it is about meeting each other
But the prevalent topic could also be “going through madness”
He has been working with this Company on each of his shows
from Il tempo degli assassini (1987) to Vangelo (2016)
His productions have won many awards and were presented in more than fifty countries
He has also directed several films like Guerra (2003), La paura (2009), Amore carne (2011) and Sangue (2013) and Vangelo (2016) which premiered in prestigious film festivals such as Venice Film Festival and Locarno Film Festival
including I am Love by Luca Guadagnino, Me and You by Bernardo Bertolucci, Goltzius and the Pelican Project by Peter Greenaway
Fonalleras – 16/10/2020(…) There are few shows that leave you stunned
without the ability to define them or to face life after seeing them
“La gioia” by Pippo Delbono (…) is one of these shows
(…) I don’t think I’ve ever been so touched
MATEO Asociación Argentina de Investigación y Crítica Teatral – Olga Penelas – 3/2/2020 La Gioia
the show presented at the Coliseo Theatre during the festival FIBA 2020 is a poetic work
(…) The whole show is shaped as a prayer that moves the audience
(…) It is surprising the originality of this work
LE MONDE – Brigitte Salino – 06/10/2019When Pippo Delbono comes to Paris
His productions are like open letters in which he reveals himself surrounded by the ones he loves
the ones who has been accompanying him for years
giving off beauty and full tenderness in La Gioia (Joy)
which wants to be “the world’s most beautiful performance”
LE FIGARO – Ariane Bavelier – 08/10/2019(…) “La gioia” is the story of a man who is not able to feel anything anymore except his own pain
Pippo tries to proceed like a furious mad in a loquaciousness where poetry springs to mind
genial striking flashes before you get back into the flow again
(…) And “La gioia” reaches the magnificence of madness
LES INROCKUPTIBLES – Hervé Pons – 25/9/20109(…) La Gioia is the latest Pippo Delbono
just like “the latest Godard” or “the latest Honoré”
the new piece which becomes part of a work Pippo has been creating in all these years: through La gioia his whole work becomes clearer and yet more complex at the same time
DEL TEATRO.IT- Maria Grazia Gregori – 13/6/2019Joy
such as the disappearance of the unforgettable Bobò
(…) Great success and a standing ovation at the end
LA REPUBBLICA.IT – Anna Bandettini – 8/06/2019Joy has no story to tell
whose resonance reaches well beyond what can actually be seen on stage
(…) The fragments that make up this work blend in an intense emotion
rather towards hope in the hard joy we all are waiting for
CORRIERE DELLA SERA – Franco Cordelli – 30/5/2019“And now Bobò
It’s Pippo Delbono who’s telling his story
(…) I went back the following night
I wanted to make sure I’d gotten it right
Bobò could be heard breathing through every word
IL SOLE 24 ORE – Renato Palazzi – 30/6/2019Precursor of many anti-interpretation currents
Pippo Delbono persists in de-stabilizing us with his quest for shadows that grow long
who makes theatre by not so much with characters with a personal physiognomy
but rather with pure moods and interior emotional states
SIPARIO – Nicola Arrigoni – 13/06/2019(…) One follows Joy with a choking heart
musical upsettings that Delbono’s theatre is capable of
CONTROSCENA – Enrico Fiore – 12/11/2018Pippo Delbono’s La Gioia bears scandal
because it dares to portray on stage a quality of joy that is the exact opposite of the lie shown in advertisements and promoted by consumerism
(…) Ten minutes of quivering and affected applause at the end of the show
with all the performers called repeatedly back on stage

there is a housing estate like no other in France
Organised into two blocks separated by a main road (Avenue du Général Leclerc)
56 standalone properties were inspired by seven different countries and each is unique
was the result of a post-World War Two reconstruction effort that for years went largely under the radar of historians and even people who lived near it
and was developed between 1946 and 1951 to provide affordable housing to families dispossessed as a result of repeated bombing during the war
They took up residence in state-of-the-art furnished houses designed by an assortment of Swedish
assembled from kits delivered by boats and trucks
and contrasting sharply to typical French houses of the period
they were slowly sold to private buyers in the 1980s
“The cité had the charm of an anti-war utopia,” said Hélène Caroux
historian and researcher at the Service du patrimoine culturel du département de la Seine-Saint-Denis (Ile-de-France)
in reference to the architectural partnership of Allied countries that helped build it from the rubble
Dr Caroux has written a book about Merlan and is one of a small number of historians to have studied the estate
Her interest dates from being asked to write an essay about it in 2008
when Noisy-le-Sec chose to pay tribute to Merlan as part of its Journées du Patrimoine (heritage days)

“I wanted to give credit to a project that went too much under the radar
considering it has great historical value in terms of housing and reconstruction,” she said
The rebuilding effort was already in most architects’ minds during the war
but the government used the opportunity to modernise the industry by bringing in new techniques
materials and ideas through state-organised competitions
Noisy-Le-Sec was singled out for experimentation after suffering some of the greatest devastation in the Ile de France region from wartime bombing
The town was declared a disaster area in August 1944 and the Ministry of Reconstruction and Urban Planning concentrated its efforts on two projects: apartment buildings near the station and a neighbourhood of detached homes in the Merlan area
the state was looking for construction models that would allow for the rapid production of low-cost housing
It launched experimental building sites where multiple manufacturing processes could be tested
to be reproduced on a national scale if successful

each house was designed to be built using new techniques and materials and from different plans
the English houses ‘Unitroy’ and ‘Orlitt’ were built with concrete slabs
and ‘Maison STUP’ with pre-stressed concrete
houses were insulated with a range of different materials
Thermal and acoustic trials were conducted to test performance – unconventional and rare for the time
Merlan featured Swedish and Finnish vernacular housing next to semi-detached British-inspired homes
Dr Caroux rejects suggestions the estate shares similarities with Bournville
a model village in south-west Birmingham founded for employees at the nearby Cadbury’s factory
another well-planned philanthropic settlement for a workforce
It did mark a huge departure from traditional French housing projects
and the international influences would have been eye-opening for the first residents
owner with his wife Suzanne of the ‘Guelain’ house since 1996
said: “Having a house eight metres from the street was a difference
“Our house is not as open as those in the United States
but it was arranged in ways we had never seen in the region around Paris.”
Merlan accommodated 224 people from 42 families by October 1
and they enjoyed the latest furniture styles and domestic appliances
Residents reported a convivial ‘village’ atmosphere in the 1950s
with children playing in parks and neighbours helping each other out
owner of ‘Maison City Lumber 17’ since 2000
said: “Merlan reminds me of Le Petit Jardin.”
He is referring to one of 1970s singer Jacques Dutronc’s songs
which tells the story of an idyllic plot of land transformed into a concrete parking lot
New building rules introduced in the late 1980s meant some owners were forced to replace original materials
reducing the number of original properties from 56 to 43
have also changed the neighbourhood’s aspect
Dr Caroux has no good explanation for why the estate is not better known by Parisians or French people generally
tenants agreed to let their homes be visited to collect opinions on urban planning
Visitors filled in a questionnaire of their observations afterwards
The visits were organised two afternoons a week
during which residents had to be present and the property was expected to be clean
One occupant recalled eating meals in the entrance hall so as not to dirty the dining room
Mr Prénat keeps up the tradition in a small way by offering tours of his house for France’s Journées du Patrimoine
The cité has benefited from a recent surge in popularity after being listed among France’s Monuments Historiques in 2000
properties in Merlan sell for around €5,000/m² – slightly higher than the average in Noisy-le-Sec
