Le Direktør

Oscar Gómez Mata

Based on a comedy by Lars von Trier

In French

Operation 2 x L’Alakran (and 2 x Lars von Trier)

A diptych by controversial film producer Lars von Trier. A prolific theatre director, impertinent and radical, Oscar Gómez Mata. A team of unbridled actors and actresses. After watching The Boss of it All (“Direktøren for det hele”), we decided to reinterpret it. Then we thought we wanted even more, we wanted it and them to carry on, with the whole team and Lars von Trier, here. Hence, we are presenting two shows with the same casting, two projects like a double shot of caffeine at Comédie de Genève.

In Le Direktør, a boss hires an actor to play the role of the company’s director so he does not have to shoulder the responsibilities himself. Except that the actor is very meticulous about how he approaches the role and he fulfils his function with such professionalism that it soon triggers a series of micro-disasters and hilarious situations.
