Theatre production. France 2018, 145 min. Directed by Denis Podalydès. Starring: Elsa Lepoivre, Éric Ruf, Gaël Camilindi. In French with Russian subtitles. A key work of Victor Hugo's theatre, the author’s “most powerful” play according to George Sand, Lucrèce Borgia entered the Repertoire in 1918. “And now mingle with all this moral deformity a pure feeling, [...] maternal love; inside your monster, put a mother and the monster will make you cry” states the preface. The director was inspired by Antoine Vitez’s staging in Avignon in 1985 to follow Hugo’s lyricism so as to “better descend into this shadowy abyss that is Lucrèce Borgia, an ambivalent and subversive tragedy, a sort of monster of beauty and impropriety” in order to recreate the poetic violence of the incestuous drama.
