Once upon a time, unable to cure their son Prince of his deep melancholy, the Carnesino family called upon a certain Doctor Basilio to administer a revolutionary treatment. Will his farcical tragi-comic musical tales, served with a side of Sunday lunch, help Prince to recover his good humour?

directed by Ève Bonfanti
performed by La Fabrique Imaginaire
Wednesday 3 to Sunday 14 March 2021 at La Cuisine
with English and French surtitles
Friday 5 and Sunday 7 March

A cross between Elizabethan theatre and contemporary creation, The Comic Tragedy is a show about performance; its deceptions and revelations, its limits and its infiniteness. An intelligent and emotional journey into the heart of a great mystery: theatre itself. This is a tremendous work of theatre that is simply not to be missed.
