Reading of texts by Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir, the lover
“I didn’t give you my life, I gave you my heart, everything I could give you but not my life.”
Letter to Nelson Algren
In the middle of red and gold, behind the heavy oak tables, but also on the majestic fluted chairs of the Salle des Manuscrits et de la Musique, seven actresses will say excerpts of letters, novels, essays by Simone de Beauvoir. Making us understand how the love of the other, the love of self, the love of writing has led the way of a resolutely contemporary woman.
