Théâtre – Combats

Four young performers in a fiction that questions the notion of play and the material of the moment, with a sense of the comical that sometimes verges on the absurd. A humorous show with a simple stakes: four people, three women and one man, confide their states of mind, their apprehensions and doubts, what motivates them and what holds them back, in a twirling verbal choreography. The starting points for these frenzied discussions are trivial: what does it mean for someone who likes his coffee sweet to have to drink it without sugar? How does he deal with his frustration, how does he share it with others? These banal situations follow one another, bounce off one another, call for zany resolutions, and turn into new misunderstandings. In all seriousness, the show raises essential questions about living together, and even about democracy.
