Rendezvous at the Théâtre Edouard VII, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from November 9 to 25, 2023.

From courtly love to contemporary texts by Virginie Despentes, the event aims to provide an overview of French literature around the theme of love. Authors such as Racine, Molière, Laclos, Constant, Proust, Colette and Houellebecq are evoked. Beigbeder doesn't hesitate to mention his own writings, as well as those of singer Leonard Cohen.
At the end of this presentation, Beigbeder evokes the complexity of love, suggesting that despite much being written about it, the feeling remains difficult to pin down completely. He underlines the omnipresence of love in literature, reflecting its importance in human life.
