Noémie Gantier brings Marguerite Duras's iconic novel *L'Amant* to life in a reading-performance at the Mairie du 11e arrondissement. The actress has memorised the entire book and presents selected excerpts, navigating the text's complex themes of colonialism, desire, and family.
This first stage of a larger theatrical project follows the young girl crossing the Mekong River on a ferry, where she believes she falls in love. Gantier's performance embraces the novel's sticky colonialism, unresolved prostitution, maternal madness, dark humour, and pervasive eroticism.
