« How did I write Le Square? By listening to silent people, when they stroll in public squares without talking, every afternoon » - Marguerite Duras
ABOUT
SQUARE(S) is an artistic rendition of the well-known bench, to be found in any public square. When seated into it, one can listen to the mesmerizing dialogue written by Marguerite Duras for her iconic play Le Square : seated in a public square, a young baby-sitter and an old salesman discuss peacefully. An impossible love story, that they share with the visitors, as if seated next to them on the bench.
