Flamboyant, virtuoso and poetic, Fanny Ardant returns to the stage to talk to us about Love.
Sublime love, unique love, the only true love. Passion, pain and the divine intertwine to take a woman to the brink.
In the historical setting of Port-Royal, in a brutal century, how can people who love the absolute and the truth love each other?
Fanny Ardant - as Mme de Clermont - captures all the thrills and spills of passion in both narrative 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. Monsieur de la Tour, broken and wounded in battle, is welcomed into this pious, demanding and radiant home, where intelligence and the education of girls were wagered on, and where Madame de Clermont was raised?
