There are bonds that nothing can undermine. You are Agatha gives poetic form to an
|
||
|
|
unrepresentable mystery: the desperate and impossible love between a brother and a
|
||
|
|
sister. Hidden in this fictional story there is of course the burning autobiography of
|
||
|
|
Marguerite Duras and the memory of her love for her brother Paulo who died when he was
|
||
|
|
an adolescent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In her childhood villa, now abandoned, Agatha meets her brother. She has decided to
|
||
|
|
leave and interrupt the incestuous relationship that unites them; she has met a man and
|
||
|
|
will go to live with him. However the impending separation brings back memories, which
|
||
|
|
are not fading away. Their incestuous and indissoluble relationship is an inverted mirror
|
||
|
|
that reflects our difficulty in meeting and accepting the freedom of the Other and the pain
|
||
|
|
of failure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The stage is empty in order to host a ritual between two bodies that have always looked
|
||
|
|
for each other without being able to touch. Theater becomes the ideal place to investigate
|
||
|
|
the heart of the relationship and release that ferocious desire that has long been
|
||
|
|
frustrated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Tu sei Agatha* is the story of a love and the attempt to survive its strength.
