La Misère du Monde

Directed by Orélie Fuchs, this stage adaptation of Pierre Bourdieu’s La Misère du monde gathers testimonies about daily life, work, unemployment and social judgment. Four performers—Tan Chen, Claire Deutsch, Vincent Fontannaz and Davide-Christelle Sanvee—give voice to experiences of precarity in a staging that interrogates the social mechanisms producing suffering. A live, transformed scenography and intimate ensemble work create a tactile, humane atmosphere that foregrounds testimony and collective memory.

In French.

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.
