Building, une ascension vers la chute
Theatre
30 January 2026
Unity of time, unity of place, and unity of action. A thirteen-story building, from morning to night: the lives of employees drained by their company.
At Consulting Conseil, whose goal is... to advise advisers (!), the snake bites its own tail. The protagonists pass each other without seeing each other, speak without listening, and sink inexorably into their solitude and darkness. A world, ours, where language, the precautionary principle, and fear have become king. So yes, the photography of our time is dark, but the author is clever: what better way to make the pill go down than with humor? The writing is funny, the situations are pushed to the point of absurdity, and the characters are endearing. A principle as old as theater: the magnifying mirror that makes us laugh, reflect, and, hopefully, perhaps change.
"It was with immense pleasure that I worked with La Scène Déménage. Amateur actresses and actors, they are passionate, determined, and manage to convey their joy. It was a gamble for them to change register with this dramatic comedy: the gamble paid off." Jonathan Gensburger
