Poster for the show “Débrayage”

Avignon OFF 2018

Débrayage

6 – 29 July 2018 at 15h50

Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon

By Rémi De Vos, directed by Nicolas Pichot. A tragicomedy about the world of work, nominated for the Club de la Presse “Coups de Cœur” at Avignon OFF 2017.

Here we laugh a healing laugh at informing on colleagues, at surreal workplace bullying, at self-assessment turned dizzying, at redundancy…

Humour acts as an escape and reveals the absurdity of a system that degrades us.

The characters, sometimes cowardly, sometimes heroic, often offbeat, defy life with insolence while dancing on the edge of the abyss… The staging, stripped of realism and at times choreographic, becomes poetic and opens up possibilities…

The show asks questions rather than making demands, and touches us deeply in its search for humanity.

Duration: 1h15

Age 14 and up
