La Comédie

A bourgeois couple host friends in their new apartment. At the same time as this superficial dinner takes place, a drama unfolds. Fantasy or reality? A tragicomedy about the deceptions of our epoch.

Of Latvian origin, cosmopolitan director Yana Ross uncovers a combination of explosive material and cruel satire in a play by author Maja Zade, associated with the Schaubühne in Berlin. No words plays on the tension between the banality of socialite conversation, comical in its superficiality, and a disaster unfolding silently in the next room. Beyond the laughter, a certain violence gradually emerges, shattering the facade of the humanist values wielded by this powerless social class, devoid of all sincerity. A thought-provoking show that invites introspection.
