L'Effondrement des Glaciers: A Duras-Inspired Play

Set in the summer of 1980, this play explores the intense relationship between young philosophy student Yann Lemée and the iconic writer Marguerite Duras. Through a fragmented narrative blending archival elements and reinvented scenes, the production shifts perspective to give voice to Lemée, who became a character in Duras's work.

The performance confronts idealized collective memory, questioning whether love can stem from fascination and where the line between love and abuse lies. It invites audiences to examine their own ambivalences about intimacy, power, and the stories history chooses to remember.

Presented at Théâtre Ouvert in Paris, the show runs for nearly two weeks in April 2027. The venue is accessible to those with reduced mobility, hearing, visual, or mental disabilities, with sign language interpretation available.
