Heloise and Abélard - Body and soul

Philippe Borrini

Theater

The legend of Heloise and Abelard was born even before their relationship took hold, in the popular songs that Abelard wrote towards the end of the 1110s, and that the Parisian goliards sang in chorus. This love that became legendary is the fruit of the meeting of two extraordinary beings: the illustrious Pierre Abelard, a brilliant communicator, a priestly careerist and a born manipulator, and the brilliant but very wise Heloise, with a fiery character.

Philippe Borrini, brilliantly taking up the torch of the authors who preceded him, chooses the theatrical form to bring to life these colorful characters that passion transcends. This play, both funny and profound, reads like a novel.
