Juste la fin du monde

Juste la fin du monde, a play by Jean-Luc Lagarce directed by Nathalie Cuenet to be discovered at the Théâtre Pitoëff in Geneva from January 12 to 26, 2018.

What is the sensation linked to returning to the place of one's childhood? How oppressive is it? What makes you go far away one day? Jean-Luc Lagarce's work is all about family, the unspoken, the omnipresent but unnamed death, the search for the right word to make oneself understood, to say oneself.

In this case, it's Louis who returns to his family to inform them of his impending death. During this reunion, the love between them is expressed through eternal quarrels. Louis is reunited with his sister Suzanne, "the little one" now grown up, their mother -Antoine, his brother married to Catherine, and whom Louis has never met.
