Abstract
Hélène Cixous, perhaps best known in this country for her concept of "écriture féminine," has had a flourishing career as a writer of fiction and theater for over thirty years. Her production of fiction and essays has continued unabated since she published her first prose work, Prénom de Dieu, in 1967. 1 Cixous came to writing for the theater a bit later in her career, with her plays, Portrait de Dora and Le Nom d'Oedipe, in the mid seventies. 2 Then, after a decade-long hiatus, she began writing scripts for the troupe the Théâtre du Soleil under the direction of Ariane Mnouchkine. To date, she has written five plays for them and done translations for the cycle of Greek dramas that they staged in the early nineties.
