The premature death of the writer, actor, director and publisher Jean-Luc Lagarce (1957-1995) compels us to read his plays as exercises in grieving over our memories. Derniers remords avant l’oubli evokes a youthful love affair between a woman and two men in a house filled with the fragrance of summer. This remembrance of time past is achieved through repetitive writing that seeks to pinpoint our feelings as accurately as possible.
