Musical Theater - Wild Grass, in the Shadow of Contempt

By the Herbe Sauvage Theater Company.
A tribute to Marianne Oswald.

They were expecting a boy and a girl...
The disappointment is profound in this respectable family. Her mother does not want her, and she grows up with Catherine, the cook.

Thus begins the life of Marianne Oswald (Sarreguemines 1901 – Limeil-Brévannes 1985)—singer, muse to poets (Prévert, Cocteau, etc.), writer, screenwriter, director, and producer of radio and television programs for children.

*Herbe sauvage à l’ombre du dédain* powerfully and poetically recounts her tumultuous childhood, from Sarreguemines to Berlin, via Strasbourg and Munich.
Through all her trials—war and bereavement—Marianne held on to one dream: to sing in Paris. And what she sings will leave no one indifferent!

The intimacy of the songs in Marianne Oswald’s repertoire is revealed through their juxtaposition with excerpts from her autobiography *Je n’ai pas appris à vivre* (1948, reissued in 2024).
