La politique du pire
Adrien Barazzone
Adrien Barazzone single-handedly summons an entire city council and turns the stage into a delightfully combative fair of egos.
On the agenda, a thorny question: should the statue of Woodrow Wilson be pulled down to make way for a somewhat conceptual work entitled Boule de papier (Paper Ball)?
Interventions multiply, certainties waver and the debate spirals into contagious delight. By turns biting, absurd and deliciously whimsical, La politique du pire navigates between political satire and human comedy.
In it, Adrien Barazzone deploys a delicious gallery of characters, carried by lively writing and acerbic humour, as zany as it is committed.
A jubilant performance that reminds us how salutary it can be to laugh at our institutions, at our contradictions… And at ourselves!
Also scheduled on 15 October 2026 as part of the Veyrier cultural season.
