Created in January 2015 at anthéa, Daniel Benoin’s staging of Jean-Claude Brisville’s Le Souper offers a renewed vision of the celebrated 1989 play. After nearly 110 performances in Antibes and Paris, the production embarked on a French tour. For the November 2016 tour stop at anthéa, François Marthouret replaces Niels Arestrup opposite Patrick Chesnais, renewing the central face-off. Benoin emphasizes the play’s striking contemporary resonance, suggesting that audiences two centuries after Waterloo will recognize current political echoes. The production features sets by Jean-Pierre Laporte, costumes by Nathalie Bérard-Benoin, and lighting by Daniel Benoin. The venue indicates the show is suitable for adolescents. The approach prizes clarity, rhythm, and the precision of Brisville’s language. It frames a vivid, modern conversation about power, pragmatism, and statecraft.
