Marguerite Duras or the mixture of genres

I wrote a play without knowing it. So said Marguerite Duras about The Square, her first play, adapted to order according to the eponymous novel. We know that Duras often recycled her texts, which could come out as news, stories, novels, plays, films, just to quote La Musica or India Song. Duras had even written songs. Thus, it is hardly surprising that such a versatile artist had in an interview to recover from a slip of the tongue: Les Eaux et forets is a film! Forgiveness, it is a play! This year 2014 marking the centenary of her birth, and after so many adulated artists in their lifetime have sunk into anonymity right after their death, we wanted to know what was left of Marguerite Duras in the memory of French people almost twenty years after she passed away.
