Six years after his last creation, Vincent Macaigne continues his encounter with Shakespeare, begun with At least I would have left a beautiful corpse, adaptation of Hamlet, in 2011. Before Terror, freely inspired by Shakespeare's Richard III and others texts, will thus extend Hamlet or the Idiot by Dostoyevsky.

Vincent Macaigne draws in this new creation a world where beauty and cruelty, fury and passion reside. A world reflecting what our stupidity produces, the stupidity of our history, of our past, of this quest for power which terrorizes our past and our future.

He sees in Richard III a group made up of “a circle of individuals who dream of power with cruelty and burlesque”; and intends to recross this epic with his historical troupe to try to laugh at our savagery, our idiocy, to expel these dark forces with joy and buffoonery and to create catharsis.

The piece questions human brutality, which only the presence of childhood can sometimes suspend. It is located in a universe drowned by fiction, in a society prey to doubt, led by sick and isolated kings, and where information no longer passes or passes too much.

Known for his over-the-top productions - we also remember Je suis un pays (2017) - Vincent Macaigne creates a play that is both political and burlesque, in the tradition of the violent buffoonery plays of the Middle Ages. A singular theater of formidable contemporaneity.
