About This Book

La pièce suit la chute d'un roi au cours de ses dernières années, montrant sa dépossession, ses humiliations publiques, et l'accession au trône d'un rival; l'action se concentre sur l'événement de la déposition et explore les rites de souveraineté, la fragilité du pouvoir, l'identité royale et la parole politique. Alternant scènes publiques et moments intimes en captivité, le texte mêle poésie et discours juridique pour interroger la légitimité, la conscience et les effets personnels de la déchéance, tandis que témoins et courtisans révèlent les jeux d'opinion qui la rendent inexorable.
