La période d'exploitation au Théâtre est terminée.
To Fear You in Your Absence
I have written novels, several theatre plays, children’s books and a film
script but never yet a libretto for an opera.
It will not be the case of trying out a new experience, but of renewing my
writing practice, opening it to a form that is foreign to me at present – that
of a monolog that cannot be heard, even understood, without music. It
should be neither a narrative nor poetry but a blend of fiction and lyricism. It will be voice of a woman that will tell us
of key events of her existence: to be a daughter and a mother, to be from one region,
from one country, to be part of the community of humans, to belong to mankind
and yet be a woman, this special, always peculiar sort.
