Events Description

 

We’re still laughing from Les Chiens de Navarre’s caustic humour in Les armoires normandes (2016). The party continues this year as Les Chiens toss us into the emergency psych ward for a political rally—a delusional trip into humanity’s downward spiral. No one will be left standing by the mirthful rage of this tornado-of-a-show, which knocked down audiences throughout its whirlwind tour across Europe.

Seven untameable performers and their fearless leader, Jean-Christophe Meurisse, are set loose on stage. Before our disbelieving eyes, they unwrap a series of scenic tableaux, half-planned and half-improvised, that are raw, cruel and hilarious all at once. The trivial flirts with tragedy; a trite story of a woman absurdly objectified by plastic surgery is juxtaposed with the horror of realizing that the vending machine in the employee break room is broken again! The layers of our private and shared lunacy play out against the backdrop of huge windows revealing the inside and outside of an apocalyptic party… that no one was really invited to.
