In July 2008 VIGNER reinvested the Carmelite Cloister for the Festival of Avignon, two years after PLUIE D’ÉTÉ À HIROSHIMA. This time he realized the set design for ORDET by KAJ MUNK, directed by ARTHUR NAUZYCIEL. ORDET (the word) is the story of a miracle, a resurrection, of which CARL THEODOR DREYER has made a cinematrographic masterpiece.

For the set design of ORDET, ÉRIC VIGNER created a pulsation of light, a panoramic vision the smooth, suggestive shapes of which embrace the actors. Human nature is enclosed in an atmosphere which recalls nordic landscapes of ice and water. An elemental encounter of form and material invites the audience to dive into an archaic universe, to see the words act.
