PLAYWRIGHTS CORNER

	A conversation with Denise Chalem, interviewed by Sabine Bossan \| A face to face
	« Denise Chalem We live in a time when everything is specialized, but writing is a whole. It's also about creating an architecture. When I write, I'm building. Sometimes I write eight or nine different versions of my texts, then I pick up the scissors and glue and cut out lines from the end and put them at the beginning for instance. It develops another dynamic, another space. »
