Wajdi Mouawad reads Jean-Paul Sartre

In 1948, Jean-Paul Sartre writes « The search for absolute », for the first monographic exhibition of Giacometti in New York that marks the sculptor’s comeback on the artistic scene, after over ten years of absence. In the middle of the « Walking Man » exhibition, at the Giacometti Institute, the writer, director, and actor Wajdi Mouawad, reads this beautiful philosophical and poetic text, in which Sartre applies his existentialist thought onto Giacometti’s work. A performance with the exceptional partnership of La Colline - Théâtre national.
