Phèdre

A violent passion, with the taste of incest, devours Phèdre: "Of love I have all the fury." Speaking of Hippolytus, her stepson, Theseus' wife makes this confession to her follower. But is Phaedra, descendant of a cursed lineage and subject to the wrath of the gods, a monster or a victim? In the last of his secular tragedies, Racine reveals the most tormented recesses of the human soul.
