This piece, a cult hit onstage and in film, has become synonymous with scathing comedy that denounces the excesses of today’s society. Its premise begins with some characters tracking down a complete idiot and inviting him to dinner with the intention of mocking him the entire evening without him ever realizing it. But what happens when the game does not unfold as planned, when nothing
seems to stop the invited idiot from making things worse? The result, much to our amusement, is one of the most hilarious and intelligent comedies of our age. Nothing is left to chance. Between continuous mistaken identity, ongoing word games, and table-turning situations, it is impossible for us to avoid both a serious case of the giggles and a critical look at society. We are sure to see humour displayed in all its forms as society’s excess is gleefully denounced.
With surtitles: April 23, 24, May 1, 6 & 9.
