There are five of them: the Child, the Lady, the Woman, the Mister and the Man... There's a grandiose wedding, in a luxurious estate far from the city, difficult to access and guarded by police or servants...
There's the fierce determination to take part in the banquet, to find one's place at the dinner table. It's a tough fight to be one of the chosen few, to have the right to take part in this wedding...
Then there's the waiting, the quest, the cunning, and then comes the impatience...Then follows the revolt and the seizure of power. We loot, we kill, we indulge in our new privileges... A new world is rebuilt... The first wedding is celebrated... Jean-Luc Lagarce takes a caustic look at the social and economic workings of our society. From the eternal quest for power and with a provocative lightness, he draws a powerful and truculent farce.
