THIS SEASON’S CLASSICAL PIECE depicts both the bright and dark sides of passion. Three young people are trying to find their way in life; trying to fulfill their dreams. They do it surrounded by characters as colourful as they are eccentric, who excel at the art of confusing innocent feelings. Not surprising, since Alfred de Musset did not believe that there was a border between the reality of his existence and the fiction of his poetry. Himself a victim of a tumultuous love affair with George Sand, he created a work of vicious emotion, the result being a piece of his time that is for all time. We are seized by the incessant and contradictory rhythm of life and our feelings. A tragedy of innocence, There Is No Trifling With Love rouses in our emotional memory the involuntary torture of certain passions. Can we at once live and die from emotion?
