Dark and burlesque humor for this play with explosive characters!
At the theater tonight! The Masque et Musique workshop at the conservatoire Hector Berlioz invites you to a tragic and fantastical farce in which two families, trying to flee bad news in order to preserve a joyful event, reveal their fiercest selfishness. Through a succession of increasingly burlesque situations, Levin paints a cruel portrait of a society ready to step over corpses to achieve an ultimately trivial goal. The story of Winter Funeral is the story of a great fantastical and burlesque escape triggered by the unfortunate coincidence of two major events. On one side, cousin Shratzia is marrying off her only daughter Vélvétsia to Popotshenko. On the other, cousin Latshek Bobitshek is mourning the death of his mother, who, before she left him, made him promise her a beautiful funeral attended by the whole family. So he sets off at night, in pouring rain, to announce the terrible news to Shratzia. The family then decides to run for their lives in order to avoid hearing the inconvenient news. And the flight begins, a total and absolute escape, dragging Latsheck on an absurd journey through places as varied as they are delirious.
