Preliminary Notes
This detailed outline lays the dramatic framework and the main philosophical themes; the full 92-page dialogue version will require scene-by-scene development, preserving the poetic sweep, shifts in tone, and symbolic density already present in "Domination and Submission Die Out."
Thematic Themes
• Life after the end of the domination/submission relationship: reinvention of a collective ethic
• The problem of emptiness, meaning, and memory: what remains for the human being who has become an angel?
• Metamorphosis, fusion of identities, universal telepathy as a mode of relating
• The question of forgiveness, remembrance, and the risk of relapsing into duality
• Between utopia and melancholy: can one truly love without separation?
The Effect of Form
The play alternates between dialogue scenes, poetic monologues, choral asides, and abstract stage directions to suggest a minimalist and fluid scenography, in keeping with the style of the first work. The narrative structure remains elliptical, favoring experience over action, meditation over plot, faithful to the spirit of the source text while opening it up to new horizons of interpretation.

Telepathic Choruses (punctuate the play)
Chorus:
Blessed are those who no longer have to judge.
Blessed are those who are now nothing but light.
Should we mourn the monsters we once were?
Or celebrate the angels we are?
Here is the answer to my previous question, which concerned the creation of a second contemporary play in French as a direct sequel to "Domination and Submission Fade Out":
"Here is a structured proposal for a second contemporary play, a direct sequel to "Domination and Submission Fade Out," entitled "Domination and Submission Fade Out: New Labyrinths." The action takes place two years after the events of the first play, in an undefined space where technology and memory are collapsing in tandem with the upheaval of human relationships.
The play reunites the surviving characters, confronted by newcomers and their own inner demons. The main themes explored are: disobedience to invisible authority, the reconstruction of shattered identities, the search for collective meaning in the face of omnipresent surveillance, and post-traumatic psychological resilience."
" Key scenes include:
• A dialogue between Sarah, a former dominant figure now weakened, and Luc, a submissive turned rebel, as they negotiate the creation of a "neutral" space-time, free from previous constraints.
• The arrival of two strangers, carrying new surveillance devices, who confront the group with the illusion of newfound freedom but instead reveal the persistence of an invisible algorithmic power.
• A monologue by Mira where domination and submission dissolve, giving way to a third pole: solidarity, the only antidote to mental fragmentation.
The conclusion reveals a fragile community, neither submissive nor dominant, but attentive to its own vulnerabilities and capable of inventing new forms of solidarity.
Each element can be developed or adapted according to my needs and the evolution of my project.
