Paris, sum­mer 2020. Actors from “la Comédie-Française”, France’s most pres­ti­gious the­ater, rehearse Christophe Hon­oré’s new play, an adap­ta­tion of Mar­cel Proust’s “The Guer­mantes Way”. When the show is sud­den­ly can­celed, the dra­ma group decides to go ahead with it any­way, in the name of art and for the joy of act­ing together.

VIBE

A contemplative, dialogue-rich experience. It feels like eavesdropping on brilliant minds grappling with art, life, and the ephemeral nature of performance amidst a world in flux. Witty, poignant, and deeply human.
