Le Dindon

This Dindon promises to be one of the greatest sets ever staged at the Théâtre d'Auxerre. Did you say excess? A Feydeau is irresistible, uncontrollable... unapproachable? Pontagnac - our Dindon - forces his way into the home of a stranger whom he discovers to be the wife of an old friend, this friend himself embroiled in an affair with an Englishwoman whose own husband... Don't be fooled! Maryse Estier brings Feydeau's subtle mechanics to life to perfection, with a joyfully offbeat performance by an elite cast of actors. There's no slamming door here, just a surreal entry by the Dindon Pontagnac through the toilet bowl. Add invasive tropical flora, a nod to genre cinema and other bleeding finds... Truly, this Dindon is a strange bird!
