Phèdre

Jean-Luc Lagarce proposes an adaptation for two characters, Phèdre and Œnone, who also play the other roles.

Doesn't everything, from now on, exist in their heads, in their dreams?...

In tragedy, you never die because you're always talking. Here, then, is a first definition of the tragic hero: he is the shut-in, the one who cannot leave without dying: his limit is his privilege, captivity his distinction.
Roland Barthes, Sur Racine
