A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering setting in London society, and a showering of Wildean witticism are only a few of the reasons why this play has enjoyed hugely successful revivals in London, in New York, and on the silver screen. This 1895 drama is eerily prescient, as it examines the plight of a promising politician, desperate to hide a secret in his past. With empathy and wit, Oscar Wilde explores the pitfalls of holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us.

Bien sûr, nous traversons tous des moments difficiles et nous sommes tous victimes de quelque chose ou quelqu'un. Mais la vraie question est : qu'en faisons-nous ? Cet ouvrage décrypte les mécanismes psychologiques qui sous-tendent cette attitude complexe : colère, autoprotection, consolation, quête de sens et de reconnaissance.

"Je n'ai pas le temps", "Le contexte ne le permettait pas", "Ils m'ont empêché de faire ce que je voulais". À force de prendre la couleur des circonstances, nous nous dégageons de toute responsabilité en nous exemptant de tout sentiment de culpabilité ou d'insuffisance. Comme le caméléon, nous nous protégeons en nous dissimulant derrière l'environnement: les embouteillages, la météo, la crise, le président, le maire, nos enfants, nos proches, nos voisins, le chat.

A young man commits all types of sins, but only his portrait shows the ravages of his life. Oscar Wilde's Faustian classic. Gothic horror at its best.

In the wealthy and vain hedonist Dorian Gray, London painter Basil Hallward has found his muse.

The arena freezes in stunned silence, and in that heartbeat, boxing history is rewritten right in front of you.
