Sarah Rühle Livres

Sarah Ruhl est une dramaturge américaine dont l'œuvre plonge dans les profondeurs de l'expérience humaine. Ses pièces entrelacent magistralement les aspects banals de la vie quotidienne avec des thèmes mythiques intemporels d'amour et de guerre. Initialement attirée par la poésie, son parcours se reflète dans son usage riche et évocateur du langage, conférant à ses œuvres dramatiques une qualité lyrique unique. Ruhl est célébrée pour ses créations théâtrales vivides et aventureuses, qui juxtaposent avec poignance le réel et le mythique.
