La lente et difficile agonie du crapaud buffle sur le socle patriarcal

The pedestal crumbles under the weight of a gasping monster. The Akté company delivers a ferocious satire with an anthology-worthy recreation of Alain Finkielkraut's radio program "Répliques" on France Culture. With liberating laughter, we take pleasure in watching the old world leave the stage. An unmissable theatrical catharsis! Facing philosopher Camille Froidevaux-Metterie, essayist Jean-Michel Delacomptée and his guest embody, on December 4, 2021, the pathetic figures of an old order. Lacking arguments, their croaking saturates the space, drowning out the clarity of the discourse. It is the rhetoric of emptiness, background noise that strains its lungs. And when words are no longer enough, the staging, with surgical precision, shows the beast secreting its venom: distilled contempt, condescension draped in high culture and blackmail with the end of civilization… With crazy talent, the actors deliver a prodigious performance to celebrate a jubilant decline.
