Apenas el fin del mundo

After many years' absence, the protagonist, Louis, returns to tell his family of his impending death, settle scores and settle unfinished business before disappearing. Too many misunderstandings, frustrations, jealousies and resentments have arisen during his absence, barely interrupted by a few postcards.

The play, structured like a musical score, emphasized in this staging, also has an autobiographical character.

Lagarce's theater is centered on discourse, the plots of his plays relatively simple. His writing proceeds by incision, with characters constantly returning to what they've just said, modifying it. In striving to be as precise as possible, the text paradoxically becomes increasingly imprecise. Lagarce's theater questions the ability to truly say things.
