Imagined by Gilles Ségal, a renowned playwright and actor who, throughout his career, has skilfully wielded humor, sensitivity and depth, En ce Temps-là, l'Amour is a story of transmission. It recounts the moving story of a man, played by David Brécourt, who talks to his newborn son about a life-changing encounter during a tragic train journey to the death camps.
A talented actor, David Brécourt brought Gilles Ségal's words to life. His remarkable, flawless performance conveys the brutal emotion captured in this text.
The play is divided into seven chapters, evoking the seven-day journey to the death camps. A poignant parallel with the seven days of the world's creation, symbolizing the world the main character refuses to see disappear. Despite the weight of the subject, humor and poetry emerge strongly from the text, giving the work a rare intensity.
After winning the Prix de la Presse for Best Show at the Festival Off d'Avignon 2021 among more than 1,300 other performances, there's no doubt that En ce Temps-là, l'Amour will touch Parisian audiences at the Théâtre de la Madeleine until December 1, 2023.
En ce Temps-là, l'Amour is much more than just a play, it's a duty to remember, a testimony to empathy and intense love that questions, moves and reminds us that art can cross time, never forgetting.
Attending a performance of En ce Temps-là, l'Amour is an unforgettable theatrical experience. So don't wait any longer to book your tickets and immerse yourself in this intense story.
