From beyond the grave, celebrated playwright Antoine d’Anthac gathers together all his friends who have appeared over the years in his play “Eurydice”. So these actors watch a recording of the work performed by a young acting company. Do love, life, death and love after death still have any place on a theater stage? It’s up to them to decide.

“In my films, I’m constantly looking for a theater-style language and musical dialogue that invites the actors to get away from the realism of everyday life and move closer to a more offbeat performance. I read or reread different playwrights before I settled on Jean Anouilh. Since the end of the 30’s, I’ve been involved with the production of around 20 of his plays. When I came out of a production of ‘Eurydice’ at the Théâtre de l’Atelier 70 years ago, I was so emotional that I cycled right around Paris, and saw the play again the following week.” (Alain Resnais)
