Theatre: DURAS RESISTANCE | 16th June 2016

June 16, 2016 @ 7:00 pm –

The last World War, Marguerite Duras lived it all at once as the wife of a deported husband, as a resistant, but also as a writer.
This play is an adaptation of two texts from her book La Douleur, the first one of course, along with the one about Monsieur X, alias Pierre Rabier. This second one is particularly striking.
