A narrated concert of song highlights from Love The Struggle, a new original musical about two of the twentieth century’s most famous and controversial thinkers, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Exploding the image of philosophers as solitary armchair ponderers, Beauvoir and Sartre dive headfirst into life’s grittier side, entangling themselves in love, betrayal and death with a pact of “essential love” that allows them each to take “contingent” lovers, so long as they tell each other everything about their contingent loves.
Fueled by erotically charged writings about their romantic adventures, the couple’s literary fame (and infamy) grows while their bond of essential love is tested by war, ambition and their contingent lovers’ never-ending plots to sever their connection.
