| | | A window opens. A video. An ad. A news flash. The phone rings. Adèle is worried. ‘‘Did you take your pills?’’ Laurent grows impatient. ‘‘Do you want me to come back up?’’ A window opens. Photos of Pierre. Interviews with Pierre. Memories of Pierre. A window opens. On Ida’s love. On memory. On urges. On obsessions. On the past locked in the present of a computer screen. During one night. During a crisis, or perhaps an escape. |
| ‘‘Ctrl-X reflects on love and the impossibility of grieving in a fragmented style with a computer screen serving as a window onto the character’s unconscious. The play strives to grasp the place where the virtual locks the past into the present and replays obsessions of the heart and memory. The portrait of the beloved is drawn over the course of skittish meanderings in-between ads and news flashes, through bits of images and gazing. The writing aims to give substance to the voices that inhabit the solitude of small urban spaces both cut off from time and hyper-connected, where people are caught up in their urges and a new relationship to the world is invented and falls apart. Ida fills a place in the night where desires and fantasies, used to being instantly fulfilled, are faced with the absurd and intolerable reality of absence.’’
