LE DOUX PARFUM DU VIDE
Caviar and sora no longer suffice. A renowned chef thus decides to cook even rarer ingredients to entice her hip clientele, while her lover desperately tries to win her back under the probing gaze of a journalist thirsty for sensationalism. In a series of short tableaux rife with truculent humour, Pascal Lafond presents a cruel metaphor on the seductive hell of our contemporary world, where consenting flesh marches smilingly toward catastrophe, where prey and predator roam solo through this satiated world of ours.
Young graduates of the National Theatre School pass bold, critical judgement on excessive consumption and the futility and superficiality of our society. Stoked by director Robert Bellefeuille, this fable on horror rendered banal and exploited for spectacle, this amiable yet scathing attack on the voraciousness of human relationships, this bittersweet dish with an acid aftertaste becomes a sensorial experience that is salty to say the least. Be careful not to choke on the bones!
