MADISON · MAINE · UNITED STATES
The American chapter of the Phaedra & The Bridges of Madison County diptych.
The Bridges of Madison County is the work currently being developed for the United States. Its English-language stage production is announced at Carousel Music Theater in Boothbay Harbor for the 2027 season. Dates and the final production structure remain to be confirmed.
THE DIPTYCH
Two autonomous works, one artistic project exploring desire, choice and the irreversible.
A dramatic poem by Yánnis Rítsos, in the French text by Gérard Pierrat. Phaedra speaks to Hippolytus while summoning herself to account: myth returns to the scale of a private incident as speech moves between lucidity and hallucination.
The staging seeks a theatre of sand, both domestic and mental, where bodies, light, image, sound and music make the poem’s air almost visible.
Read about Phaedra in the dossierA Maine production announced for 2027, followed by development of a French version for France and Québec.
