Théâtre : "Les Bonnes" par la Comédie-Française

By the Comédie Française, Created by Jean Genet

Directed by Carme Portaceli

In Les Bonnes, Jean Genet directs two domestic sisters, Claire and Solange, who re-enact a disturbing daily ritual in which they reverse roles and fantasize about murdering their mistress. Between play, illusion and the desire to rebel, the play explores relationships of domination and gives a voice to the unheard. It's an intense, inward-looking play combining cruelty, fantasy and the vertigo of power. Carme Portaceli, one of Europe?s leading directors, revisits the work, revealing all its modernity, notably through the question of image and social relationships, with a particular focus on female figures.
