Automatically translated. Read the original French text.
This project was born from the encounter
between two texts by Marguerite
Duras, Écrire (1993) and La Vie matérielle
(1987), excerpts from interviews
she gave over the years, and
also her cookbook La
cuisine de Marguerite (posthumous - 1999).
The choice of Marguerite Duras
is not merely a literary tribute
marking 30 years since her passing in 1996.
Her writing and her voice, at once
radical and deeply
sensory, continue to resonate across
generations. Duras, with her incisive
pen, explores the darkest and brightest
reaches of the human
soul. She speaks of herself, yes, but
always from an "I" reclaimed
by the actress Diana
Sakalauskaité, blurring the
boundary between narration and reality.
The interview excerpts we
have selected, often little-known
to the general public, reveal a
singular, intuitive, and profoundly
free voice.
