Synospsis

In real time, they spend an hour and a half trying to find each other.
They’ll spare each other nothing, yet underneath the gnashing of teeth is a cry of love.
But the twists and turns in their lives have already left their mark.
Are our intimate wounds so deep that they can afflict our hearts with deafness?

The Play

Performed by Catherine Arditi and Maurice Barrier, and directed by Daniel Roussel at the Studio des Champs-Elysées in February 2002, “Virages” is Alain Teulié’s first play.
A bend in the road gradually reveals its beauties and dangers.
A being slowly lets us in on its secrets.
When a father wants to see his daughter again, when she decides to really talk to him, their words tumble down a slope, and twists and turns surprise them with new beauties or unforeseen dangers.
As Clara and the father, Catherine Arditi and Maurice Barrier, with their violence and sensitivity, seem to give us a glimpse of the frantic race we embark on, despite the cruelty of certain paths, when we finally want to reach a form of truth.
All bends have an end.
