Second play

Hastirya (Délire à deux)

It is a play with two characters, a report of a couple's life. Outside, war, inside, absurd quarrels. Offbeat puns and illogical arguments reveal the cracks in daily life and the determination of the characters to cling to a reality that flees them in a world that is falling apart.

A Le Monnot production in collaboration with Whispers Fund for emerging artists
