In July of 2005, Claire Deluca, a French Actress well known for her association with Marguerite Duras asked Paul Wehage to write music for a work entitled "Nevers", an adaptation of the scenario and notes for the film "Hiroshima Mon Amour". The work was first presented at the Marché de La Poésie at the Cinema Harlequin in Paris and formally premièred at the 10th "Hommage à Marguerite Duras in the Hall of "Les Roches Noires" in Trouville, France on October 3, 2005. This present version is a reworking of that material and is dedicated to Claire Deluca.
In "Nevers", a woman tells a stranger about her love of a German soldier in occupied France, his subsequent death and finally being punished by having her head shaved during the Liberation of France.
The music seeks to express the strong emotions that the woman expresses: love, erotic desire, grief and finally acceptance, but through a veil of memory which Duras sees as being constantly disappearing, almost before each moment is finished. The work should be played as if from another time, almost as if the music only existed as thought rather than sound. Although the emotions are violent, the expressive effects should always be interiorized.
