Three theatrical productions are discussed in the podcast L'esprit critique, including The Other Place, After Antigone by Alexander Zeldin, Je meurs de ne pas mourir directed by Aurélia Lüscher, and Mon frère written and directed by François Grémaud. These plays are being showcased in various cities across France and Switzerland, reflecting a range of themes from personal grief to religious reflection and the challenges of communication. The Other Place, After Antigone is currently being performed at the Théâtre de la Ville-Sarah Bernhardt as part of the Autumn Festival. Created at the National Theater in London, the play is based on the myth of Antigone and features two sisters, Annie and Issy, who meet on the anniversary of their father's suicide. The play will be shown soon in Luxembourg and Geneva, continuing its journey across Europe. Je meurs de ne pas mourir is a solo performance by Estelle Meyer, directed by Aurélia Lüscher, and performed at the Théâtre de la Bastille in Paris. The text is based on writings of Teresa of Avila and was written by Paco Bezerra. The play was supposed to be shown in Madrid but was canceled, officially for budgetary reasons, but likely also under pressure from the far right. It will be shown in November in Marseille and in March 2027 in Châtillon, Orléans, and Saran. Mon frère is currently being performed at the Théâtre du Rond-Point in Paris before a wide tour in France and Switzerland. The play features two men in their early fifties, one of whom is deaf and the other is his brother, who is a director. The play weaves three parallel stories: that of Christian, the deaf brother; that of sign language; and the creation of the performance. It was shown at the Avignon Festival this summer and will tour to Marseille, Neuchâtel, Besançon, Brest, Fribourg, Toulouse, Saint-Ouen, Malakoff, Bordeaux, Dunkerque, and Geneva.
