Les Solitaires intempestifs

Jean-Luc Lagarce's audacious collage of texts by 19th- and 20th-century authors paints a group portrait around the themes of love and the couple, a journey through our times. From party to party, the impulses of these distraught soul-mates take us from desire to disenchantment, from love to disunity, without self-pity.

"Sometimes it's like a melodrama, and then like a song or a film or the memory of a book we think we know, or quite simply the tale of lives we think we've lived." Jean-Luc Lagarce
