Vie ? Ou théâtre ?

Charlotte Salomon's Vie ? Ou théâtre ? is a singular, monumental work that blurs the line between autobiography and theatrical drama. Published by Le Tripode from 2015 onward, this single-volume comic presents Salomon's own painted narrative of her life, created in the early 1940s as a deeply personal and urgent act of artistic survival. Though it consists of just one issue, its scope is immense, offering a raw, vivid, and hauntingly beautiful exploration of memory, family, and identity. As a foundational work of graphic memoir, it stands as a testament to the power of comics as a medium for profound personal expression.
