R. S/Z Impromptu Spectre Joseph Danan | | | | There’s Roberto Succo, who killed. It’s a well-known story. There’s the Writer, who wrote a play about Succo and in doing so succeeded in tearing himself from the mother he had never managed to leave. There’s the axe-wielding Writer who makes the Playwright furious by chopping down what he has built. Try finding some sense in all that. |
| “Parallels have often been pointed out between Koltès the mythical playwright (a romantic angel) and Succo, the dark angel who is no less romantic. Danan has constructed counter-proof of a writer who was anything but romantic and was faced with the raw material of writing. […] The news item is re-examined and separated from the myth. […] He moves from the subject of this quest to a potential relationship between the playwright and Roberto, as if by frequenting the murderer – even in fiction – there developed a bond, a closeness and questioning of his own path as playwright and, indirectly, that of the reader.”
Jean-Pierre Ryngaert, in the “Tout contre le réel. Miroirs du fait divers” conference at the Université de Lyon 2, May 2004 |
