Le Dindon

In this vaudeville, Feydeau pushes the art of misunderstanding to the extreme and, to our great joy, reveals our deep contradictions, torn between the tranquility of our comfortable lives and the savagery of our passions. Horribly funny.

Pontagnac has been following a woman on the street for eight days because he has fallen madly in love with her. He ends up breaking into her home and comes face to face with her husband. To his astonishment, it turns out he's Crépin, an old lawyer friend. Lucienne, honest and faithful, will agree to take a lover on the sole condition that she catches her husband in the arms of another. Crépin, initially having no desire to look elsewhere, finds himself trapped when one of his former conquests contacts him again and threatens to kill herself if he refuses to share her sheets. Between infidelities and misunderstandings, the plot unfolds around a multitude of surreal twists and turns, women hiding in closets, and entangled husbands. The lines are biting and the exchanges absurd, giving each character the precious role of "turkey" in the farce.

Belonging to the new generation of directors who are reviving the great classics, Maryse Estier offers a bold vision of Feydeau. In collaboration with her partner Clémence Longy, she reveals all of his dramatic richness while exploring his most offbeat facets. Oscillating between dream and nightmare, Maryse Estier's Turkey soothes tensions to give way to a liberating and healing laugh.

With Nicolas Avinée, David Casada, Marie Druc, Dylan Ferreux, David Gobet, Capucine Lhemanne, Clémence Longy, and Mariama Sylla
