Description

A joyful dive into the world of Courteline: a distorting but always recognizable mirror of our intimate theatre.<p> With his sharp eye and his art of detail, Courteline captures domestic life and human foibles in a satire that remains relevant today.<br><br> Slices of life where the couple and the administration become ridiculous battlegrounds reveal all the flavor of a universal comedy: pettiness, cowardice, bad faith, jealousy and that irrepressible need to have the last word.<br><br> Between the rooms, three inspectors appear unexpectedly. Their mission? To investigate these everyday crime scenes: an ordinary living room cluttered with trivialities, an old and dusty office in stark contrast to the kitschy decor...<br> Their farcical investigations form the central thread of the show and reveal, by contrast, the absurdity of our petty modern quarrels.<br><br> Three short plays by Courteline are being honored: "La Paix chez soi", "Monsieur Badin", "La Peur des coups".</p>
