La sauvage, by Jean Anouilh

This work has been rarely represented since it was created in 1938. Under the guise of comedy, Anouilh poses a tragic question: Is a happy life worth living? This is Thérèse’s dilemma. She is a young musician struggling in a mediocre orchestra; Florent offers her his love, fortune and especially the spotless serenity of life in an environment protected from all the pains, cruelties and shame of human life. Surrounded by a myriad of interesting characters, these opposite lovers lead the dance of death, all themes later presented in the famous play about Antigone and Creon.
