This paper provides a reading of “Le Sacrifice”, a transcription of Jac-
ques Derrida’s speech at the conference L’irreprésentable, le secret, la nuit, le forclos at the Lille National Theatre on 20th October 1991. This speech was first published jointly by the magazines La Métaphore (Editions La Différence) and Lieux extremes in 1993. In this text, Derrida reflects on the theatre of Daniel Mesguich (Algeria, 1952), author, theatre and opera stage director, theatre and cinema actor, professor, and translator. Our work is inscribed in the folds of this reading of Derrida, in his reflection on tragedy, sacrifice and the time of theatre, thus carrying out a new reading that includes Sophocles, Plato, Freud, María Zambrano… Through this reading of Derrida, we get closer to representation in the theatre in order to, from there, approach other contexts which are also present in the text: from linguistic representation to the psychoanalytic concept of representation that incorporates repression, concluding by emphasizing, through Antigone, a kind of criticism of phallogocentrism.
