The Cid is an exalted subject that speaks first and foremost to the heart, in the multiple senses of the word.
Don Rodrigue, a young lord of the Spanish court, is in love with Chimène.
But their families become enemies and Don Rodrigue kills Chimène's father in a duel. Chimène can no longer marry him, as her duty is to avenge her father.
Le Cid is part of our collective unconscious. It's also about paying homage to the soul of the audience, which has never ceased to vibrate to its lines, its romantic story, its subversive spirit. We have an almost fusional relationship with his verses and his dilemmas... which ignited and still ignite the literary hours from junior high to preparatory classes.
