La visite de la vieille dame

FURTHER AFIELD

Directed and adapted by Omar Porras, La visite de la vieille dame stages a bitterly comic and satirical examination of justice, greed and communal corruption. Porras also performs the exultant, wigged and lace-clad titular millionaire, shaping a grotesque centrepiece. Fredy Porras co-signs the scenography and Marie Robert assists direction. The ensemble, led by Pierre Boulben and Manon Castellano, navigates between ferocity and jubilation in a bold tragicomedy that decapitates conventions and provokes reflection.
