Description
In 1808, the Marquis de Sade directs his original play at the asylum of Charenton. Set in 1793, Sade's
play follows the life and assassination of the French revolutionary, Jean-Paul Marat. While the Marquis
de Sade uses the inmates of Charenton to provide a commentary on human nature and French politics,
Coulmier, the director of the Asylum , is responsible for the radical commentary. Fueled by the anger of
confinement and social power, Sade's play shakes the appeasement of government officials with graphic
depictions of pain, sex and rage. It is the threshold between pain and pleasure that Sade suggests we
find our true selves. As Charlotte Corday raises the dagger to cut Marat's life short, Marat/Sade depicts
pain and pleasure through pure justice.
