The Visit of the Old Lady

Description

In Güllen, a ruined small town, the arrival of a billionaire rekindles all hopes. Claire Zachanassian promises a fortune on the condition that justice is served – and that the man who betrayed her is executed. Faced with this morbid pact, morality wavers and an entire community finds itself caught in the trap of its own greed. For thirty years, Omar Porras has made this play a theatrical playground where masks, music, and bodies create a universe that is both satirical and poetic. Today, he entrusts the keys to a new generation of performers. More than a revival, this reinterpretation combines fidelity and reinvention, revealing, beneath the grotesque, the tragic depth of the work. Between laughter and vertigo, this The Visit of the Old Lady unfolds a popular and demanding theater, where the pleasure of play illuminates the darkness of the world. A luminous classic, radiated by a rare collective energy. Conference The theater of Dürrenmatt on Sat. Nov. 7.
