Ébauche d'un portrait

Through Jean-Luc Lagarce's very special relationship with his diary, the portrait emerges of a man who devotes his life to the theater and projects himself into the eternity of the work, apostrophizing the reader beyond his disappearance. It's the soap opera with Théâtre Ouvert, its hopes, its disappointments, its twists and turns. The soap opera of his illness, seven years of doubt, struggle and courage. The soap opera of his stagings, his successes as well as his despairing failures. Above all, it's the soap opera of his writing, of his constant questioning of his ability to become a writer.
