“I am used to the long dark night. Every creative act originates in darkness. Every story is born out of blackness. The most intense part of my theatrical journey I owe to the image of a woman who decides one night to go down into her garden, which she has built a wall around.
In that hortus conclusus she confronts her night of the soul, and, removing one stone at a time from the wall, comes upon the relentless dawning of the morning. That woman is me.
Today I come, thanks to you, to Maylis de Kerangal and to a woman who on night on 3 October 2013, heard on the radio the news of the tragic death of 300 people on the sea off Lampedusa. That woman sitting in a kitchen in Paris is a writer.
Lampedusa reveals itself as a condition of our state of being: narrators, actors and actresses, navigators, wanderers, but more importantly (and these are conditions that have no sexual gender in our language), refugees migrants, guests.”
