Agatha, the play by Marguerite Duras will be staged at the Café de la Danse in September for a month of performances, from 07/09 to 07/10.
To be reserved for the start of the theatrical season, Agatha, one of Marguerite Duras' most powerful and destabilizing texts will be directed by Hans Peter Cloos at the Café de la Danse
An event in the world of Marguerite Duras fans, Agatha's text will be staged from September 7 to October 7 on the Parisian stage of the Café de la Danse with actors Alexandra Larangot and Florian Carove. Agatha evokes incest, but, and this is the magic of Marguerite Duras, it is also a text about beauty, about love. The 67 pages of Agatha are both classical theatre – unity of time, place of action – and modern tragedy. Agatha talks about incest and impossible loves, the loneliness of beings and the inevitable separation. Very inspired by Robert Musil's book The Man Without Qualities which Marguerite Duras said provided "initially a mortal boredom then a glare", Duras takes us into an intimate space, without artifice, sometimes poetic, often pathetic, as is everything forbidden in the face of an ideal. For Duras, incest is the apotheosis of love: we meet the memories, the loves, the readings of a brother and his sister in a closed door where, through words, voices and images, desire, restrained sensuality emerge and fascinate as when listening to a Brahms waltz…
