Bérénice , at the center of its author's work in 1670, is a singular piece in Racine's production: it is a tragedy in which there is no blood. It may seem all the more painful. Separating is worse here than dying. This is the fate of the three characters in the play: Berenice, queen who loves Emperor Titus and who was to marry him, Antiochus, who devotes hopeless love to Berenice. It is only a question of pronouncing one word, so hard, so tender: farewell.
