As with Shakespeare, Chéreau's space is always metaphorized (like the scenic treatment of the phantom in his Hamlet), and he gives the text its true value and the fable its faithful rhythm. The question of theater determines his vision, and his practice of theater is a total art. You have understood it: this book is one of those that must be read and reread. Shakespeare, thanks to Chéreau, is our contemporary for a long time to come.
