ALL ABOUT EVE – LES MIROIRS D’EVE ET AU-DELÀ
ALL ABOUT EVE – MIRRORS OF EVE AND WHAT LIES BEYOND

Summary/Abstract: All About Eve – Mirrors of Eve and What Lies Beyond. Taking as a starting point the play of identifications in All About Eve, this paper focuses on theatre as a function in the constitution of the feminine subject. Something emerges in the relation between the characters, but also something is produced beyond this relation. The theatre-function is complemented by the scansion introduced by the mirror; the mirror is a place of disjunction on the journey of the subject. Further on, we look at how this theatre-function has a correspondent in the cinematic succession of repeating, enacting and creating in Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s movie Nun va goldoon, which allows its characters to exit the series of identifications.
