La visite de la vieille dame

Directed and adapted by Omar Porras, this fierce staging of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s La visite de la vieille dame confronts greed, justice and the corrosive power of money. Porras performs the exultant, coiffed billionaire while a tight ensemble — Pierre Boulben, Francisco Cabello, Manon Castellano and others — navigates Dürrenmatt’s tragi-comic turns. Scenography by Fredy Porras and Omar Porras and a subtle dramaturgy by Marie Robert sharpen the satire, transforming the village into a mirror of contemporary moral compromise.
