"Le Retour au désert" has a special status among Bernard-Marie Koltès’ theatre pieces. Whilst his work is often associated with dark atmospheres and marginal realities, for this play, the dramatist chooses the comedy genre to depict the heart of France. Through the lens of irony, Koltès evokes the events of the Algerian war and, by balancing satire and horror, he faces a painful past and the colonial amnesia. To this purpose, he uses dramaturgical strategies based on contamination and hybridization.

Abstract
"Le Retour au désert" has a special status among Bernard-Marie Koltès’ theatre pieces. Whilst his work is often associated with dark atmospheres and marginal realities, for this play, the dramatist chooses the comedy genre to depict the heart of France. Through the lens of irony, Koltès evokes the events of the Algerian war and, by balancing satire and horror, he faces a painful past and the colonial amnesia. To this purpose, he uses dramaturgical strategies based on contamination and hybridization.File in questo prodotto:
