With Kroum the Ectoplasm, directed by Elsa Saladin-Benattar, the theater students of the Conservatoire Nadia et Lili Boulanger take on the biting satirical comedy by the great playwright Hanoch Levin to explore our identities, our flaws and our dreams.
Kroum the Ectoplasm, a biting satirical comedy by Hanoch Levin, directed by Elsa Saladin-Benattar with the theater students of the Conservatoire Nadia et Lili Boulanger. Kroum returns home. He has seen nothing, learned nothing, experienced nothing, and tries to give meaning to his life... As is often the case in Hanoch Levin’s plays, Kroum’s hopes and dreams collide with everyday life and the dead ends of the human condition. His fantasies give way to a far less appealing reality. Around this antihero, a host of characters with insignificant daily lives search in vain for happiness and quietly let life pass them by. On stage, fifteen students portray many slices of life: Kroum’s, his mother’s, Takhti the jewel’s, Trouda-the-fidget’s, Tougati-the-afflicted’s, Doupa-the-simpleton’s, Shkitt the taciturn’s... It takes place in a neighborhood like so many others, with its families, its romances and its friendships. Could this neighborhood, its romances, its friendships, its everyday characters be our own? With humor, this play questions our identities, our fears, our flaws, our dreams, and the meaning we give to our own lives... Directed by Elsa Saladin-Benattar Photo Pixabay Alexas
