“With a raw poetic onslaught, Éric Noël explores the darkest corners of intimacy and speaks to a universal human experience: the violent coexistence of a search for love and a desire to disappear. With its circular structure, this monologue agilely embodies the spiral of addiction, leaving the reader breathless even as it punches out breathing holes. Cutting and sublime, this generously sincere play resonates long after reading.”
