Il Faut qu'une Porte Soit Ouverte ou Fermée

Presented by La Compagnie de l'Elan. A comedy where every word opens or closes the heart: Musset revisits love with wit and elegance. On a cold winter evening, a Count visits a Marchioness in the hushed intimacy of her drawing room.

Both caught up in reserve and modesty, they circle their feelings without ever naming them outright. Through a series of lively and subtle dialogues, they seek each other out, challenge one another, hesitate, and then gradually cross the threshold of confession.

This game of doors open or closed becomes the symbol of their hesitations and their desire to reveal themselves without fully surrendering.

Behind the apparent lightness of the conversation, the play highlights the complexity of romantic relationships: fear of rejection, the hope of being loved, vulnerability in the face of the other.

Musset thus offers a refined and profound comedy, where every word weighs heavily and every gesture reveals the secrets of the human heart, providing a faithful mirror of the torments and impulses of love. Directed by: Jean-Luc Jeener.

Featuring: Marianne Carion, Jonathan Le Guillou. Lighting: Jean-Luc Jeener.
