Seuls en Scène 2024 celebrates the book launch of Les paradoxes du comédien by Laurence Marie, who has interviewed many past guest artists of the festival for her book project. Marie moderates a discussion with the performers of the festival’s first weekend and considers how Diderot’s Parodox of the Actor resonates in their craft today.

Laurence Marie is a Lecturer in the Department of French at Columbia. A specialist of 18th century literature, theater and the arts, and the history of emotions, she is the author of Inventer l’acteur, Emotions et spectacle dans l’Europe des Lumières, a new Folio Classique edition of Diderot’s Paradox of Acting, and Les paradoxes du comédien: Cinquante regards sur le métier d’acteur.

The conversation will be in French. Duration: 80 minutes.
