Théâtre : "Bataille navale"
By Jean-Michel Ribes. Cie Dessous de Scène-34-Sète. Social comedy. Theater event at La Petite Scène - Cougousse
Baroness Van Karppuzoff, an eccentric, aging man-eater, loses her lover one summer evening on her terrace, a glass in her hand: “Well, since my relationship has gone down the drain, I’m going on a cruise.”
The curtain rises. A human adventure that makes no sense at all begins. A cruise ship, the Neptune, a shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, and two passengers who are polar opposites, brought together by fate on a makeshift raft. Félix Blandaimé, a distinguished first-class passenger, and Plantin, a bartender in the second-class lounge, engage in a verbal sparring match over the dominance of the so-called upper classes.
This colorful one-on-one encounter, where imbalance is never far off, unfolds to the rhythm of the waves against a backdrop of accordion music.
Starring Sabina Cravotta, Gérard Linsolas, and Serge Arnaud. Directed by Serge Arnaud.
