Title: Monsieur Antinoüs et Madame Sapho
Description: M. Antinoüs et Mme Sapho tells the story of a marriage of convenience between Jacques de Mortheure and Marthe Barnède, both homosexuals, but who end up finding solace for their disappointed loves in the company and affection of each other. Didier's aim is to rewrite the Platonic myth of the androgyne and at the same time desexualise marital relations between men and women. The two homosexual characters, Jacques and Marthe, find in their marriage of convenience a tenderness and complicity that soften the painful impossibility of their inverted loves.
