Made up of separate scenes dealing with painful subjects of the day seen through the deforming lens of time – the virulent campaign against smoking, in-vitro fertilization, global warming, meat consumption – the show produces an unusual “mise en abyme” of these subjects, subtly forcing each spectator to look at each of them in his or her own intimate self. The stage director’s role falls into second place out of the playwright-stage director’s wish to tone down the harshness of the subjects through high-flown irony, visible in the style of acting and in the set that childishly imitates the visual elements of SF productions.
