Isabelle Nanty, a free-spirited artist equally sensitive to the vaudevillian’s crazy humour and his solitary and melancholic personality, takes on this hotel haunted by desire, which she imagines as a “dollhouse cross-section where everything happens simultaneously in plain view and in the wings”.
“Safe and discreet! Hôtel Du Libre-Échange, 220 rue de Provence! Recommended for married people... together or separately!” When Mrs Pinglet, outraged by this advertisement, reads it out to her husband –who has just made an appointment at the very same hotel with the wife of his neighbour and partner Mr Paillardin– neither of them imagine that they will all unexpectedly end up there the following night. Accumulating no less than 279 entrances and exits, Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallières’ play was a triumphant success from its first performance in 1894.
For its entry into the Repertoire, this incredibly convoluted play is directed by Isabelle Nanty, a free-spirited artist equally sensitive to the vaudevillian’s crazy humour and his solitary and melancholic personality. In the course of a career rich in artistic collaborations, she has staged Chekhov, Ibsen and Schnitzler as well as broad popular comedies. She now takes on this hotel haunted by desire, which she imagines as a “dollhouse cross-section where everything happens simultaneously in plain view and in the wings”. A world for which Christian Lacroix has created the costumes and, for the first time, the sets. Isabelle Nanty’s primary focus is the surge of youthful vigour that surprises the characters, each finding, “perhaps for the last time, in the panic and the deep-seated fear of missing out on love, this fierce desire for life”.
