What is jean luc lagarce?

Jean-Luc Lagarce was a French playwright, director, and actor, born on February 14, 1957, in Héricourt, France. He was known for his experimental plays that often explored the themes of love, death, and power. He wrote more than 30 plays and was one of the most important and influential playwrights of the late 20th century in France.

Lagarce started his career as a stage actor before moving onto writing plays. In 1987, he founded his theater company called "Théâtre des Intrigants" in Paris. He was known for his minimalist style of writing and often used repetition, long pauses, and simple dialogue to create a unique theatrical experience.

Lagarce's plays have been performed in theatres across Europe and the United States. Some of his most famous works include "Juste la fin du monde" (Just the End of the World), "Les règles du savoir-vivre dans la société moderne" (Rules for Living in a Modern Society) and "Derniers remords avant l'oubli" (Last Remorse Before Forgetting).

Lagarce died of AIDS at the age of 38 in 1995. Since his death, his work has continued to influence contemporary theatre and he is considered one of the greatest French playwrights of his generation. In 2016, Canadian director Xavier Dolan adapted Lagarce's play "Juste la fin du monde" into a critically acclaimed film that won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival.
