El vals de los condenados
THE DAMNED WALTZ
7 personajes, 5 hombres y 2 mujeres. En una especie de Hades, tres escritores franceses esperan ser juzgados por el tribunal de la posteridad; la posteridad es insolente. Son Louis Aragon, André Malraux y Pierre Drieu la Rochelle. Al morir la profesora Dominique de Beaumanoir, que tuvo amores con cada uno de ellos en diversos momentos de su vida, ésta llega a los ínferos y asume la defensa de los tres.La pieza cuenta el juicio, el proceso, el enfrentamiento entre ellos, las defensas, las peleas. Tono a veces muy cómico, con referencias a la historia de Francia del siglo XX, la Ocupación, el colaboracionismo, la literatura francesa, etc. Es en rigor una obra sobre la crisis de la conciencia europea en el siglo XX, a través del caso francés y de tres intelectuales que representan tres tendencias: Drieu o el fascismo colaboracionista, Aragon o el comunismo prosoviético hasta que ya no es posible seguir mintiéndose, y Malraux o el revolucionario convertido en adalid de la salvación de Francia mediante el gaullismo, un difícil equilibrio entre liberalismo e intervencionismo nacionalista.
