Pierre & Mohamed: Witnesses consecrated to a life in relationship

ABSTRACT: This text proposes a reflection between three figures that complement each other as an hermeneutic key to approach at  the play " Pierre & Mohamed" ( 2018) by Adrien Candiard:  the recovery of the face (Levinas)  as a visible boundery of an indispensable singularity to build a bridge towards the other for whom we are responsable
and, on the other hand, hospitality ( Derrida) as a cipher for dialectical overcoming in the construction of a plural humanism based on the idea that the human being is a searcher of a truth whose possession cannot be arrogated because truth is much more than what a man can conceive. In the center of this drama, the birth to the name is the figure of the relationship between the Self-the Same and the Other.
