Le Voyage à La Haye

A journey to the heart of a man's intimacy, to the heart of the pain that when it seems unbearable becomes a pretext for epic storytelling, the end-of-dinner sketch, the bon mot, the expression of that necessary irony and essential humor, the elegance of despair.

This is the evocation of a childhood dream, Captain Fracasse's companion from town to town, from train to train, from theater to theater, where you can walk through your own fiction and embellish it and mess it up and cheat, but still not forget to tell a few essential little details about the stupidity, hypocrisy, selfishness and harshness of beings who only see their own little miseries.

And then, when death approaches, this man comes to tell us about the beauty of life, the passion for theater, the amazement that after so many years the surprise still lasts. Is he a hero? or simply a man on his feet, who remains King of his sorrows.

François Berreur
