SOLD OUT

Les Combustibles by Amélie Nothomb performed by the CRET troupe – directed by Véronique Siffredi
Everyone has answered the question once in their life: what book would you take to a desert island?
In this closed room surrounded by bombs, the novelist asks her characters a question that is otherwise perverse: what book, what sentence from what book is worth sacrificing a moment, a single moment of physical warmth?
Humor, irony and despair are subtly interwoven in this parable with singularly current resonances.
And Amélie Nothomb plays with literature as she would play with fire, setting fire with malicious pleasure to what she loves most in the world, books.
