Maguy Marin defies definition, rebelling and fighting, while also being a poet and philosopher, in other words, indispensable. Present throughout her work is the idea of a Utopian world with greater social and political justice. She is both lucid and committed as she challenges the way we approach history, looking at mechanisms that drive human society to violence and towards inhumanity. Starting with the Athenian historian and philosopher Thucydides, critical investigation is developed on the question of avoiding war, following the enlightened perspectives of thinkers who experienced and analyzed violence perpetrated by humans in times past. On stage, two women and two men guide the audience through the venture in a bid to gain a better understanding of how the urge to destroy can prevail over natural empathy.

Chaque soir à 19h30 et dimanche 24 octobre en matinée à 14H30, nous vous proposons une introduction par Daniel Loayza, qui donnera des éléments de contexte sur La Guerre du Péloponnèse de l'historien athénien Thucydide, sujet même du spectacle de Maguy Marin.
Ancien élève de l'ENS et professeur agrégé de lettres classiques, Daniel Loayza a notamment traduit Eschyle, Sophocle ou Platon. Au théâtre, il collabore régulièrement avec Georges Lavaudant.
