FROM THE THEATRE LIST:
The comedy Orchestre by the French playwright Jean Anouilh (1910-87), written in 1962, premiered at the Comedie des Champs-Elysees in Paris and became an instant hit.
A playwright, and above all a comedian, Anouilh, heir to French boulevard comedy, brings the spirit of his times to the apparently light-hearted, comic situations of his comedies, with all the hidden and glossed-over problems faced by the little people. In Orchestra, it’s the orchestra leader, five female musicians and a pianist who entertain guests with indigestion night after night in a café. Patricia, Pamela, Ermelina, Leona and Suzana reveal their existential problems, which they try to minimise and turn a blind eye to, while at the same time they prey on each other and have fun with each other’s problems. The real and tragic at its core dramaturgical plot is a kind of erotic triangle in which the authoritative leader of the orchestra, Madame Hortense, Suzana Delicias and the pianist, the only man in the orchestra, Suzana’s lover and the object of Madame Hortense’s erotic desire, find themselves.
But at a time when the value of human existence is relativised to the extreme, no action can have any effect, the sick guests must be entertained at all costs, no matter what happens, or in other words: the show must go on…
