LA LOI DU MARCHÉ | ELISE NOIRAUD

After Ressources Humaines in 2022, Elise Noiraud returns to shake the walls of Les Plateaux Sauvages with a new social drama, La Loi du marché, adapted from the film by Stéphane Brizé. With the same artistic team, she continues her work exploring the links between individual destinies and structural realities. A theatre of the real, sensitive and political, where the singular story becomes a mirror of our times.

Carine, a laid-off factory worker, moves from job interviews to useless training sessions as the fear of poverty draws near. When she finally lands a job as a supermarket security guard, relief quickly gives way to a moral dilemma: to keep her job, she must monitor and penalize people even poorer than herself. Her journey then questions humanity in a system where individuals are pitted against one another rather than standing in solidarity. Does dignity remain possible when precariousness looms?
