LA JALOUSIE

Théâtre de la Michodière (1h40)

A respectable civil servant returns home, having just cheated on his wife, and looks for every possible excuse to explain his lateness... Then he realizes that his wife elle-même hasn't come home yet! Caught in his own trap, he is overwhelmed by a fit of uncontrolled jealousy, leading him into a dazzling and ridiculous obsessive delirium. This text explores with panache the torments of self-love and the springs of jealousy...

Inaugurated in 1925, the Théâtre de la Michodière is celebrating 100 years of comedy this year with a famous play by Sacha Guitry, La Jalousie.La Jalousie, first performed in 1915, with Sacha Guitry himself playing the lead role. In the tradition of Théâtre de Boulevard, the play explores the torments of self-love and jealousy. Michel Fau's elegant staging pokes fun at hypocrisy and bad faith, offering audiences a satire as funny as it is biting.
