Tout doit disparaître - Stéphanie Aflalo

Stéphanie Aflalo continues her "Récréations philosophiques" and offers a metaphysical and droll play about death.

With her “Récréations philosophiques” (Philosophical Recreations), Stéphanie Aflalo offers humorous confrontations between theatre and philosophy. This time, she draws inspiration from the thought of philosopher Jacques Derrida, only to derail it.

“Each time unique, the end of the world,” he wrote to describe the intimate deflagration caused within us by the disappearance of a loved one.

Based on these reflections, Stéphanie Aflalo engages in a dialogue, both intimate and metaphysical, with the video image of her father, from whom she inherited her taste for farce and excess.

Interweaving song, dance, and piano music, Tout doit disparaître becomes an exchange that refuses to end, a form of grief training like rehearsing a play, for to philosophise, as the adage goes, is to learn how to die.

Cultivating a very singular sense of wisdom, Stéphanie Aflalo delivers a burlesque meditation on time.
