Frédéric Sonntag / Toni Casares

Take everything they tell you with a pinch of salt! This comedy shows how much the fiction we consume influences the way we think. The author is one of the most up-and-coming names in new French theatre.

A group of young activists discusses launching an anonymous campaign to denounce the western cultural and media system… A team of scriptwriters works on a story in response to the collapse of the current western system of values… An important power group (a kind of shadow government) considers how to deal with an unusual threat to the very foundations of our economic and social system… At all three meetings, the striking, enigmatic name of George Kaplan circulates from mouth to mouth.

Three stories (or just one?) that explore the political implications of contemporary myths, or how Hollywood projects its own representation of world geopolitics. Not only that, but we learn about Alfred Hitchcock’s involvement in an international plot and how a hen can save humanity.

A play directed by Toni Casares with the support of Sala Beckett, the theatre which presented El principi d’Arquimedes at Grec 2012, winning huge acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
