Campmas, Aude (2014) De la scène à la crypte : la famille et la guerre civile chez Wajdi Mouawad. [in special issue: War, Memory, Amnesia: Postwar Lebanon] Contemporary French and Francophone Studies, 18 (5), 479-486. (doi:10.1080/17409292.2014.976370).
Abstract
This paper analyses how Wajdi Mouawad articulates, in the enclosed space of theatrical performance, family, tragedy, and civil war via the recurring figure of the twin. Mouawad's tragedies open a space allowing reflection on the consequences of the violence of civil war both at familial and national levels. But if Le Sang des promesses (Arles, Montréal: Actes Sud/Leméac, 2009) reenacts theatrically the release of hitherto silent traumatic memory, it is also, more broadly, a reflection on the vain attempt to escape a tragic Mediterranean fate.
