Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard

In order to test the sincerity of Dorante, who is destined for her without ever having met him, Silvia swaps clothes with her servant Lisette. What she doesn't know is that her suitor is using the same ploy with his valet Arlequin. Thus disguised, the two couples become the dupes in this game of chance and love orchestrated by Silvia's father and his son Mario. Will they manage to escape? That's what's at stake in this ingenious scenario, which is exhausting for those who fall victim to it, and delightful for those who manipulate them. Behind the humour of the play, performed by the young team of the Collectif l'Émeute, the violence of the questions posed by the text emerges in every scene: is love natural or cultural? Can it ignore social barriers? It's a dissection of the feeling of love for young people who, whatever the era, are determined to shake up the old world.

From age 12.
