La Comédie-Française is staging “Intérieur” by Maurice Maeterlinck, directed by Nazim Boudjenah, at Carrousel du Louvre, Paris will run from January 26 through March 5, 2017.Originally written "for puppets,"“Intérieur” tells the difficulty to maintain the fragile peace of an interior, seen through tiles, that the announcement of a disappearance will upset all at once and forever. An old man, accompanied by a stranger who has just found the body of a young drowned man, must announce the tragic event to the family. Through the windows of the isolated house, they watch the father, the mother and their two other girls watching serenely. As the procession of villagers approaches, the old man can not resign himself to passing the threshold of the home and break its harmony: "They are so sure of their little life, and they do not suspect that so many others in know more; and that I, poor old man, have here, a few steps from their door, all their little happiness, like a sick bird, between my old hands, which I do not dare open.”The play is at La Comédie-Française Studio-Théâtre, Carrousel du Louvre, 99 rue de Rivoli, Paris 1er.
