Evelyne de la Chenelière wanted to speak with Marie Cardinal, to engage in a dialogue with her practice and her ideas. So she immersed herself in the other writer’s work, partly to reveal its power and partly to challenge her own craft… and thus Marie Cardinal’s intimate novel Une vie pour deux became the framework for Evelyne’s remarkable adaptation. Interweaving themes and variations, inspired by the mythical relationship between Cardinal and her husband Jean Pierre Ronfard, Evelyne’s play reimagines the characters of Simone and Jean, a couple who have gradually grown apart. When Jean discovers a woman’s body washed up on a beach, her phantom presence comes between him and Simone and compels them to face their issues of love, jealousy and aging. An eloquent and penetrating look at relationships, family and the nature of the feminine.

This production brings together three exceptional women artists: Evelyne, Marie, and director Alice Ronfard, Marie’s daughter. Together, they observe the world.
