Spectacle : Discours à la nation

"Discours à la nation" by Asciano Celestini, directed by Philippe Vallepin

This show was awarded the Prix de la ville d?Annecy for best direction at the 15th Festival de théâtre amateur des Escholiers.

Stripped of all veneer of respectability, these speeches adorn the aberrations of our contemporary world with a grotesque that is as comic as it is frightening. We take a choral approach to these poetic and polemical texts, which describe the society of our time with wit and ferocity.

With his inimitable language, both tender and viperine, his poetry and devastating humor, his political awareness and genuine love of the little people, and his acute sense of musicality, Ascanio Celestini is building his great work.
