THE ENGLISH LOVER
About
Marguerite Duras | Émilie Charriot
« At the heart of a ring of words, a theater of the essential »
One night, Claire Lannes murders her deaf and mute cousin. She confesses, but remains unable to explain her act. From this enigma, Marguerite Duras writes a play that shifts the news story into a murky zone, where logic slips away. An interrogator questions the husband, then the murderer in turn.
From these exchanges, a fragmented speech emerges, resonating powerfully in Émilie Charriot's staging. The inexplicable crime reveals the cracks in a couple frozen in indifference.
With top-notch performers - Dominique Reymond, Nicolas Bouchaud, Laurent Poitrenaux - the show brings to life a dizzying work that questions the shadowy part within us all.
