Julien Gosselin - Si vous pouviez lécher mon coeur
2666
based on the novel by Roberto Bolaño
Roberto Bolaño, the Chilean author whose writings earned him international recognition and a fanatical readership, died in 2003, leaving behind a thousand-page unpublished novel, 2666. The title reveals the book’s apocalyptic atmosphere, which owes much to the Book of Revelations. The book has five sections and follows inter alia a group of literary theorists in search of a mysterious writer, a teacher on the verge of madness and a perplexed American journalist. Lost police, murders, passion, violence and trafficking form a canvas on which an exhausted Europe of the future and a corrupt America are depicted. Its protagonists seek salvation, but in vain.
The award-winning young director Julien Gosselin and the Si vous pouviez lécher mon coeur collective work the stories and structure of Bolaño’s novel into a six-hour production which challenges the audience to experience an entire universe on the outer limits of reality.
Duration In two parts, staged on July 30 and 31. Each part lasts for 5h incl. breaks.
