À l’article de la mort

Directed by Adrien Barazzone, À l’article de la mort stages a tense newsroom conference where ideological fractures explode amid rumours of a corporate takeover. This claustrophobic, dialogue-driven play pits editorial ethics against institutional power and tests artistic freedom as the finale of Barazzone’s ‘Trilogy of Systems’. Sparse staging and a focused ensemble heighten moral conflict and urgency, offering a hard-hitting examination of truth, responsibility and the cost of dissent.
