Don't expect the title of the performances presented by the troublemakers Sophie Perez and Xavier Boussiron (or the description they have provided) to give you any information on what you will see. But you can be sure the product of their unbridled imagination, their humour at the same time full of references and devoid of any complex, to carry you off into an ambiguous whirlwind of which they alone have the secret. Alongside them, you are invited to enter the universe of the Zerep where appearance and the grotesque run the show. As if to better sweep away codes and remove the masks, in a theatre with distorting mirrors that reflect our ordinary little neuroses as well as our most flagrant frenzies. While Écarte la gardine, tu verras le proscenium delights us with the pranks of the Zerep's hard core, replaying a key moment from a play by the company, El Coup du cric andalou (the so-called "positions" scene), Faire mettre (acte 2) plays on this expression as on "the gesture of cleaning out, cursing, accumulating, intriguing, taking the piss, rotting, dying, the so-called Berlusconi's gesture (shamelessly fainting), answering, giving everything, squinting, transplanting Isabelle, keeping watch over Natacha, stuffing a friend, terrorizing, stiffening, blowing, disguising yourself like a prick, raping your family, being reconciled with life." Just so many promises of a skilfully orchestrated jumble, which, from real numbers to fake missteps, unfolds a puzzled, wild and furiously creative thinking that discreetly questions, the essence of art and its role in society.
