The central matter is friendship—both Marc and Serge are adamant in their judgment, yet in very different ways. If Serge is right, then Marc doesn’t understand a higher reality; if Marc is right, then Serge is making something out of nothing (e.g., Paula and the smoke). All of them are aware of their flaws but unwilling to escape them. All of them might see a deeper meaning and avoid it. 

Une pièce de théâtre qui ne m'a pas particulièrement parlée. J'ai bien aimé la réflexion autour de l'art qui se dégage dans le livre mais je pense que je suis passée à côté de tout le reste, n'ayant pas l'habitude de lire ce genre d'ouvrages.

Fun! Messy! Silly! Olives!

I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love this play, have since I first saw. Every time I see a white painting, I laughed. This audio version is wonderful and will have people looking at you as you burst into laughter.

Truth about friendships and art. This audio includes talks with translator and actors. Brillant!

Alors je sais pas si je suis bête et que j'ai loupé quelque chose mais je n'ai absolument rien tiré de ma lecture

I suspect I’ll be a bit weird for a few weeks. This time of year, I do tend to slip off the rails, but anytime my age is about to end in a zero I become more circumspect than normal, factor in a global health crisis and sometimes I find myself more grounded than I imagined possible. I picked up this play for a sidelong glance at the Trollope project of what it means to be alive right about now. These Julian Barnes sort of dialogues always reinforce what it is I don’t like about “socializing” as it were. My life appears compact, not dense like the Bard’s lunatics and lovers but I just lack the stamina for ruminating on carbon credits or Lars Von Trier anymore. This strange play concerns three longtime friends. One of them pays a considerable amount for a painting of myriad white stripes on a white background. The notions of fashion, class and expertise are handled and then dropped like Kant and his predecessors. I remained uncomfortable throughout my reading, which is likely the point. I can think of worse ways to spend a humid afternoon.

Marc: You paid two hundred thousand francs for this shit?

⭐️ 2,75/5
Pas vraiment d’avis sur cette petite pièce.
Une réflexion sur l’art. Sur l’art contemporain, moderne, sur le modernisme.
