Paris' Théâtre de l’Atelier brings this New York Premiere by feminist writer Marguerite Duras to the 2015 Next Wave Festival where two women, in the half-light of memory, form a bond in the space left by forgetting. More…
Two women in a pristine white room: one young, one old. “Who was she?” one asks the other, referring to a third who had long ago met a boy, fallen in love, and bore his child before promptly drowning herself.

The play is performed in French with English subtitles.
