About this title

Synopsis

Fin d une guerre o� l on crie malheur aux vaincus. Prise d otages. Chantage sur un enfant. Complot. Manipulation. Passions trahies et noy�es dans le sang. Fanatisme. Folie. Bain de sang final. Des horreurs d aujourd hui ? Non. C est le r�sum� de la trag�die Andromaque, sur les suites de la guerre de Troie, qui lance, en 1667, la grande carri�re de Racine. Ici, il est impossible � la fois d aimer et d �tre aim�, de poss�der et l amour et le pouvoir. Une trag�die de tous les temps.

About the Author

1639 - 1699. Orphelin, il est recueilli par les religieuses de Port-Royal, o� il re�oit une �ducation jans�niste. Apr�s avoir tent� de concilier ses aspirations litt�raires avec la carri�re eccl�siastique, il se consacre au th��tre. Il fait jouer la Th�ba�de (1664), puis Alexandre le Grand (1665), mais c'est le succ�s de la trag�die Andromaque (1667) qui assure sa r�putation. Il donne ensuite Britannicus (1669), B�r�nice (1670), Bajazet (1672), Mithridate (1673), Iphig�nie en Aulide (1674), Ph�dre (1677). Nomm� historiographe du roi, r�concili� avec les jans�nistes, il renonce alors au th��tre. Mais, � la demande de M^me de Maintenon, il �crit encore pour les �l�ves de Saint-Cyr les trag�dies bibliques Esther (1689) et Athalie (1691). Le th��tre de Racine peint la passion comme une force fatale, qui d�truit celui qui en est poss�d�. R�alisant l'id�al de la trag�die classique, il pr�sente une action simple, claire, dont les p�rip�ties naissent de la passion m�me des personnages. Racine a aussi �crit une com�die, les Plaideurs (1668), spirituelle critique des moeurs judiciaires. (Acad�mie fran�aise.)
