By Anton Tchekhov, L’Ours et la Demande en mariage is staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel in a spirited production that turns comedy into a vivid duel. The direction highlights the clash between conventions and desire, while set and lighting carve intimate, rhythmical confrontations. Through absurd yet touching quarrels the actors reveal tenderness beneath pride, exploring marriage, social rules and human foibles. Produced by Théâtre de Carouge with the support of Fondation Leenaards.
