| description | This article examines the representation of the theme of the earthquake in the theatrical work of the Haitian playwright Guy Régis Junior entitled De toute la terre le grand effarement (2011). Two prostitutes, the Youngest and the Oldest, after the collapse of the brothel "Bèl Amou" in the aftermath of Tuesday, January 12, 2010. In fact, if the writer-dramatist does not confront the dramatic text with the density of the event, he questions the time of the aftermath: that of chaos but also of the possibility of resilience and the political urgency of rehabilitation, both material and psychological and political. In this contribution, we propose to examine the nature and functions of this dramatic representation of this immediate history. |
