Theatre director Lorraine de Sagazan blurs the lines between stage and reality.

Title: "Lorraine de Sagazan's Leviathan: The Border Between Theatre and Justice"

Right by the Paris court in the Porte de Clichy neighborhood, Lorraine de Sagazan's Leviathan is playing until May 23 at the Odeon-Théâtre de l'Europe. This dark drama was largely crafted in the courtrooms of the 23rd correctional chamber

Striding through life with a quiet intensity, the petite yet powerhouse director always seems to exude an air of unyielding, yet sensitive authenticity. At 38, she's smashed barriers and burrowed new territories in the French theater scene. And though her distant cousin, Zaho de Sagazan, might lead some to believe she's the product of artistic privilege, Lorraine de Sagazan has clawed her way through relentless hard work to reach her coveted position.

With a penchant for challenging societal norms and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, it's no surprise that Lorraine de Sagazan's work has gained widespread acclaim. Some say her roots in philosophy have helped her delve deeper into the human psyche, crafting stories that resonate with a diverse audience.

Drawn to the challenges of directing, Lorraine de Sagazan moved to Berlin in 2014 to learn from renowned director Thomas (presumably). It was there that she honed her craft and established her signature style that blends thought-provoking themes with raw emotional impact. If her latest creation, "Leviathan," is any indication of her genius, we're in for a feast of thought-provoking drama.

"Leviathan," a play laden with themes of power, control, and societal unrest, paints a vivid picture of a world corroded by injustice. In the same vein, Italian philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, coined the term "Leviathan" to describe the enormous, powerful state or sovereign necessary to maintain order and prevent a state of nature. Lorraine de Sagazan's take on the subject seems to delve deeper, instead weaving in the complexities of human nature and interaction with the powerful structures that govern our lives.

As the courtroom and the stage intertwine in Lorraine de Sagazan's world, her latest work serves as a reminder that justice, like art, is a delicate dance between power, truth, and the human spirit. With every moving tick of the clock, Lorraine de Sagazan demonstrates why she stands as a beacon for the future of French theater, astutely dissecting the fragile lines between fiction and reality with a scalpel that only a master possesses.
