By Charles Juliet
L. a. vie et l’œuvre du poète allemand Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843) sont devenues Outre-Rhin un véritable mythe. Une mère au cœur sec que son fils vénérait et dont elle a décrété qu’il serait pasteur. De quatorze à vingt-trois ans, Friedrich dut donc se morfondre dans les séminaires protestants. Des années qui l’ont meurtri, brisé, lui ont fait perdre foi en l. a. vie. Hanté par le besoin d’écrire, il placed éviter de porter l’habit noir et devint à quatre reprises précepteur dans des familles fortunées. Chaque fois ces expériences se soldèrent par un échec. Différentes déceptions, son amour malheureux pour Diotima, sa soif d’absolu, los angeles maladie mentale, firent de lui un perpétuel exilé, incapable de s’enraciner dans l’existence. Il n’eut que de brèves années pour produire son œuvre et resta trente-six ans prisonnier de sa démence, enfermé dans cette journey de Tübingen qui s’élève sur les rives du Neckar. Cette pièce de théâtre donne l. a. parole à trois de ses amis et à sa sœur, et ce sont eux qui le font revivre, dépeignent sa personnalité, retracent le parcours de ce poète qui eut un destin de maudit.
