In 'En el trineo de Schopenhauer', Yasmina Reza introduces us to Ariel Chipman, a philosophy professor who, paradoxically, falls into a deep depression despite having dedicated his life to promoting the enjoyment of life. His wife, Nadine, considers infidelity, while his close friend, Serge Othon Weil, rejects transcendence and questions the meaning of life. Ariel's psychiatrist criticizes sentimentalism, but they all face a moment when existence seems to lose its meaning, leading them to question the world as they knew it and to confront the inevitability of death. This work is a satire of intellectualism, conveying a moving melancholy.
Yasmina Reza is a French playwright, actress, novelist and screenwriter best known for her plays 'Art' and God of Carnage. Many of her brief satiric plays have reflected on contemporary middle-class issues. The 2011 black comedy film Carnage, directed by Roman Polanski, was based on Reza's Tony Award-winning 2006 play God of Carnage.
