National Theatre of Marseille Presents NOLI ME TANGERE, 4/6-9March 30, 2011La scène est en Judée, en 26 de notre ère, dans la citadelle de Machaerous. Du haut de ses remparts s'ouvre une perspective imprenable sur la Mer Morte. En se penchant, Hérode le Tétrarque peut en voir miroiter les eaux, et scintiller peut-être les piques et les éperons des troupes que les nomades ont levées contre lui. Décidément, depuis qu'il a dévasté les dernières forêts du pays pour bâtir sa place forte, la vue est on ne peut plus dégagée. Le Tétrarque sait-il déjà qu'il va recevoir de la visite - celle d'une fille un peu trop belle, celle d'un homme un peu trop puissant?? Pris entre le désir que l'une suscite et la crainte que l'autre provoque, ce pauvre Hérode risque de perdre la tête - enfin, si l'on ose dire.
