In March 2000 Sacré Théâtre presented
TUEUR SANS GAGES
By Eugène Ionesco
An unknown assassin stalks the City of Light, threatening to destroy Bérenger's vision of order and harmony. Who or what is this menacing force and when will it strike next?
Ionesco was always haunted both by an intangible sense of the hope of perfection and by 'le soleil noir de la mélancolie'. Will the Architect's City or Mother Pipe's Green Goose Party deliver, or are all such structures inherently deadly?
The ideal, the surreal, the absurd and the banal interfere with each other in this condensed version, as Sacré Théâtre continues its tradition of French-language productions, following its most recent success with Genet's Le Balcon.
