Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams.

The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
