In the historical setting of Port-Royal, in a brutal century, how can people who love the absolute and the truth fall in love? Laurence Plazenet's writing is flamboyant, virtuoso and poetic. Fanny Ardant -Mme de Clermont- captures all the tremors of passion, between narration and embodiment. She plays with its contradictions with a sensitivity that reveals its fragility and power. Unity of time and place: an interior, one night, in semi-darkness, to let the words resound.
It is in this pious, demanding and radiant house, where they made a commitment to intelligence and the education of girls, and where Mme de Clermont was brought up, that M de la Tour, broken and wounded in battle, is welcomed. Fanny Ardant has chosen to return to the stage to talk about love: sublime love, the one and only true love. Passion, pain
passion, pain and the divine intertwine to take a woman to the brink.
By Laurence Plazenet, based on the novel "La blessure et la soif" by Laurence Plazenet, published by Éditions Gallimard.
