It's Only the End of the World, Jean-Luc Lagarce - 2024 French Baccalaureate (General and Technological First-Year Students) - Theme: Personal Crisis, Family Crisis - Étonnants Classiques, Jean-Luc Lagarce, Sophie Marchand, Astrid Chauvineau

After a long absence, Louis decides to visit his family and announce his impending death. His mother, his younger sister, his brother, and his sister-in-law are gathered for his arrival. But the reunion is not without its difficulties: as the conversation unfolds, reproaches surface, old wounds reopen; at every moment, conflict threatens the fragile family structure. Always searching for the most precise word, Lagarce's restrained language reflects our difficulty in communicating. Its poetic simplicity lends this family Sunday the power of a modern myth, elevating Juste la fin du monde to the status of a classic.+ Work study- transversal questions- text explanations- grammar points+ Path: "Personal Crisis, Family Crisis"- family tragedy from antiquity to the present day- the weight of family in 20th-century theater- tense family reunions in Lagarce's work+ Different interpretations of the play- analysis of three productions- a book, a film: Xavier Dolan's adaptation (2016)+ Baccalaureate subjects
