Le Voyageur sans bagage is a play by French playwright Jean Anouilh, published in 1937. The play explores themes of identity, memory, and the possibility of escaping the past. The protagonist, Gaston, suffers from amnesia after World War I and struggles to rebuild his life and decide which identity to adopt. Through encounters with different families who claim to be his, Gaston confronts the complexity of human nature and the burden of the past.
Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh was a French dramatist and screenwriter whose career spanned five decades. Though his work ranged from high drama to absurdist farce, Anouilh is best known for his 1944 production of Sophocles' Antigone, which, though performed without objection by censors, was nevertheless seen as an attack on Marshal Pétain's Vichy government. His plays are less experimental than those of his contemporaries, having clearly organized plot and eloquent dialogue. One of France's most prolific writers after World War II, much of Anouilh's work deals with themes of maintaining integrity in a world of moral compromise.
