La Politique du Pire

Adrien Barazzone plays all the characters in a municipal council meeting. At the heart of the debate: the installation of a work of art in place of the statue of Woodrow Wilson.

The second part of the Trilogy of Systems, following Toute intention de nuire, La Politique du pire is a monologue composed of a gallery of characters. A lectern, five chairs, as many microphones and fans: the debate is open and tempers flare.

From Madame Tige, an indefatigable chatterbox, to the president himself, everything is covered.

Absurd debates, well-oiled political jargon, small compromises and major contradictions — around the work offered to the municipality by Vanessa Koch, the comedian orchestrates this political cacophony with insight and tenderness.

With biting energy, he alone embodies the republican dialogue and delivers a striking acting performance. He mischievously plays on our democratic concerns, our distrust, and our great hopes for the political class.
