Le Spectateur condamné à mort : un procès absurde au théâtre

What if a simple evening at the theater took a totally unexpected turn?

In “The Spectator Sentenced to Death,” a spectator who has come quietly to watch a performance suddenly finds himself designated to be judged on stage.

A completely absurd trial then begins, where improbable accusations, grotesque reasoning and disconcerting situations follow one another.

Written in 1984 under the dictatorship of Ceauescu, this tragicomic piece by Matei Vinieniec mixes humor, absurdity and reflection on the mechanisms of repression.

Through this confusing and satirical trial, the author questions our relationship to justice, authority and the place of the individual in the face of power.

A piece directed by Alexandre Nicolae and presented by the association En Repliques.
