The End of History

Christophe Honoré juxtaposes Witold Gombrowicz's drama with Francis Fukuyama's philosophical concepts. By reflecting the two authors, he tries to answer the question, what is History for us, living in the 21st century?

Can History really end? Theses of Fukuyama, and also Hegel, Marx, Kojève, Derrida do not close the unfinished drama, they rather open it for the challenges of the modern world.

CENTRE DRAMATIQUE NATIONAL THÉATRE DE LORIENT – its beginnings date back to 1947. In the 80s and 90s it functioned as the regional drama center, which was officially acknowledged in 1966. In 2002 it gained the status of the National Drama Center.




LA COLLINE  - THÉATRE NATIONAL - the youngest of the five national theatres in France (Comédie-Française, Théâtre de l'Odéon, Théâtre National de Chaillot, Théâtre National de Strasbourg and La Colline). Although its beginnings date back to 1963, it has operated as La Colline since 1988. Today the theatre is directed by Stéphane Braunschweig.
