La Baleine : théâtre " The Loop"
La Baleine presents the play "The Loop."
A dirty business? Mayor Mitchel doesn't have a cat, but he does have a son, Mike, who has been accused of murder. Defended by the family’s shady lawyer, will he be able to weather the repeated attacks from two incorruptible police officers who are determined to bring him down?
Chaos theory states that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings in Sicily can cause a storm in Kansas. The four protagonists will put this theory to the test, trapped in a time loop that feels like a frenzied storm.
For the play unfolds in three acts, presenting Mike’s interrogation scene three times. A minor change will give each act a completely different twist and conclusion, building to a comic crescendo that culminates in an apotheosis of absurdity.
A quirky comedyand heartwarming comedy with a touch of childhood nostalgia, featuring a plethora of zany puns, absurd dialogue, facial expressions, and wordplay that burst forth at every moment.
