NAVIRE NIGHT

WITH

FANNY ARDANT

ABOUT US

Every night in Paris, hundreds of men and women use the anonymity of unassigned telephone lines...

… Those dating back to the German occupation, to talk to each other, to love each other. These people, shipwrecked by love and desire, are dying to love, to escape the abyss of solitude…

TEXT / Le Navire Night, by Marguerite Duras

Couperin & Vivaldi

A tale in two stages, “like freeze-frames, like incursions into time”: first Couperin’s Les leçons de ténèbres, or the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah.

Prophecy is the time of the future. Before the destruction and the tears: “we hear the song of the prophet who mourns, but the possibility that it won’t happen still exists”.
