Gérard Durville mène sa petite existence bien tranquille. Bon mari, bon père de famille, bon salarié et bon citoyen.

He is a good husband, a good father, a good employee, and a good citizen. At least, that's what he thought until his life suddenly took a turn for the absurd when he learned that he had to pay back what he owed...
Authenticity in contemporary theatre and performance : make it real
\"Authenticity is one of the major values of our time. It is visible everywhere, from clothing to food to self-help books. While it is such a prevalent phenomenon, it is also very evasive. This study analyses the 'culture of authenticity' as it relates to theatre and establishes a theoretical framework for analysis. Daniel Schulze argues that authenticity is sought out and marked by the individual and springs from a culture that is perceived as inherently fake and lacking depth. The study examines three types of performances that exemplify this structure of feeling: intimate theatre seen in Forced Entertainment productions such as Quizoola! (1996, 2015), as well as one-on-one performances, such as Oentroerend Goed's Internal (2009); immersive theatres as illustrated by Punchdrunk's shows The Masque of the Red Death (2007) and The Drowned Man (2013) which provide a visceral, sensate understanding for audiences; finally, the study scrutinises the popular category of documentary theatre through various examples such as Robin Soan's Talking to Terrorists (2005), David Hare's Stuff Happens (2004), Edmund Burke's Black Watch (2007) and Dennis Kelly's pseudo-documentary play Taking Care of Baby (2007). It is specifically the value of the document that lends such performances their truth-value and consequently their authenticity. The study analyses how the success of these disparate categories of performance can be explained through a common concern with notions of truth and authenticity. It argues that this hunger for authentic, unmediated experience is characteristic of a structure of feeling that has superseded postmodernism and that actively seeks to resignify artistic and cultural practices of the everyday\"-- Provided by publisher.
Mal d'Enfer
Sa Méchanceté, monarque autoproclamé de l'Enfer, n'incarne plus pleinement le Mal. Son cycle maléfique connaît des perturbations. Les souvenirs des Cieux, quand ils l'assaillent, en font toujours un démon différent : un homme ! Et il s'y plaît, s'y perd, s'oublie, oublie... Cette nostalgie de la terre et de l'humain, ennui de l'Enfer (Mal d'Enfer), est vécue différemment par Élégie, sa compagne. Elle sait ce que c'est, être un homme ; une femme. Elle fut avant Ève auprès d'Adam, à l'Éden. Puis, elle le quitta pour Samaël, l'Ange déchu (Satan). Un amour, et surtout un règne sur l'Enfer qui survit au temps à l'image du phénix, après que Lilith (Élégie) a trouvé un hôte que l'esprit maléfique de son époux va silencieusement posséder, nourrir. Ce rituel de conservation du pouvoir, d'éternité du Mal originel, est sur le point de s'achever. L'hôte en sait déjà suffisamment sur Samaël, sur l'homme, sur le Créateur...
A history of theatre in Spain
\"Leading theatre historians and practitioners map a theatrical history that moves from the religious tropes of Medieval Iberia to the postmodern practices of twenty-first-century Spain. Considering work across the different languages of Spain, from vernacular Latin to Catalan, Galician and Basque, this history engages with the work of actors and directors, designers and publishers, agents and impresarios, and architects and ensembles, in indicating the ways in which theatre has both commented on and intervened in the major debates and issues of the day. Chapters consider paratheatrical activities and popular performance, such as the comedia de magia and flamenco, alongside the works of Spain's major dramatists, from Lope de Vega to Federico García Lorca. Featuring revealing interviews with actress Nuria Espert, director Lluís Pasqual and playwright Juan Mayorga, it positions Spanish theatre within a paradigm that recognizes its links and intersections with wider European and Latin American practices\"-- Provided by publisher.

L'aube vient, Manuel
Au lever du jour, dans un État totalitaire indéfini... Un cachot. Manuel, jeune et brillant étudiant en droit, attend d'être exécuté. Il a résisté à la torture. Ni le prêtre, ni l'examinateur devant lequel il a exposé sa thèse progressiste, ni le juge qui l'a condamné ne parviennent à le convaincre de sauver sa vie en livrant un nom, un seul. Rongé par la douleur et par la peur, il croit revoir ceux et celles qui l'ont précédé entre les quatre murs de sa prison. Mais aussi, sa mère, son père, son petit frère, Luisa, sa jeune fiancée, ses camarades qui l'interpellent... À l'aube d'être lui-même exécuté, il les entend et leur répond tant qu'il en a encore la force. Son sacrifice dont l'écho ne passera pas les limites de son petit village de pêcheurs, le désespoir qui s'ensuivra pour tous ceux qui l'aiment, serviront-ils sa cause ?
