In *J’y arriverai un jour*, Patrice Chéreau speaks about the experiences that shaped his work across theatre, opera, and cinema. Presented through interviews, the book follows his reflections on directing actors and texts, building stage and screen worlds, and confronting the practical demands of rehearsal and production. Its focus is less a chronological life story than a portrait of an artist’s methods, commitments, and doubts. The title suggests persistence: Chéreau’s career was marked by ambitious productions, exacting standards, and a willingness to challenge audiences. This edition offers readers close access to his voice, making it useful for those interested in modern French theatre, film direction, and the creative discipline behind major productions.
