Description
Choosing between love and power is the dilemma faced by Titus, who has just come to power and cannot marry Berenice, a foreign queen, because the law prevents him from doing so.
A spurned lover, Antiochus is Berenice's powerless confidant. Racine's play is less a drama of power than a drama of love: it's a long farewell letter that fails to be written, leaving three beings alone and devastated.
With a bare stage and the raw beauty of the Arènes de Cimiez as his only setting, Robin Renucci returns to the essentials: the text, the actors and the power of the play. As close as possible to the actors, the audience enters the intimacy of passions, witnessing Berenice's despair, Titus's choices to renounce his love, and Antiochus's silent fidelity.
With Tariq Bettahar, Thomas Fitterer, Solenn Goix, Julien Leonelli, Sylvain Méallet, Amélie Oranger, Henri Payet.
