Les Egarements du cœur et de l'esprit
It's a play with a man, a woman and a sofa... It's the story of the meeting of this woman and this man, of the dialogue that arises between them, it's the story of this dialogue too...
As for the man, he's extremely young, knowing nothing of life in general, of women in particular, of this one in front of him, quite precisely. He's a young man making his entrance into the world, a young man "who has never been out", worried, of course, about being nowhere, neither out nor in, in the doorway, open or closed...
The woman, for her part, is scarcely older than he is, "bigger", say the children, knowing more, having already acted the part perhaps, "having already lived", say the adults.
The sofa, in the center, the aged sofa. We'd say it's seen others, suffered, endured others... (This is also, again, a work by the same author, another story.)
The man seeks to make up for lost time, to know what he doesn't know, to know what the woman knows more than he does. The woman, on the other hand, is determined to hold on to her advantage, to give nothing away. It's the story of a "night school", a military strategy to get people to say what they don't know, to keep quiet about what they don't want to reveal. (What will be left of her when she's said it all?)
It's the story of an education, of a slight, barely imperceptible aging, of a very first love affair. It takes place in the Age of Enlightenment
