Conceived and performed by Alexandre Pateau, La Panne transforms Dürrenmatt’s black comedy into a gastrotheatrical solo that turns a dinner table into a tribunal. Pateau inhabits every role, blending sharp comic timing with moral unease as three former lawyers re‑try history’s great cases over a feast. Sound designer Clément Rousseaux and props designer Nicola Sartorio shape a tactile, immersive stage world. The piece oscillates between farce and cruelty, probing justice, guilt and complicity in intimate, sensory detail.
