Another divine day

After a 25-year absence, François Cluzet returns to the stage to play Robert, a therapist and best-selling author, whose slight overwork has led him to Sainte-Marthe, a psychiatric establishment with the look and feel of a chic sanatorium. On the surface, all is well. Admittedly, the food is vile, some of the residents insufferable and the attitude of the medical staff deeply irritating. But why keep him confined within these four depressing gray walls? Ridiculous. He's doing just fine, in fact, as he says over and over again: there's not much for him to do here.

But Robert isn't just another inmate: he knows the rules of the game. He knows how to flatter, manipulate and bamboozle, and therein lies the subtle mechanics of the show. Doubts creep in, shaking the audience's certainties. Is Robert really this successful author, whose brother died in strange circumstances and who is a little too sensitive to the charms of his sister-in-law? It's hard to say, given Robert's talent for hiding his flaws with grand speeches. But as the play progresses, cracks appear. Victim of a misunderstanding or absolute master of manipulation? We'll all have to make up our own minds.

Taking the audience on an almost immersive journey into the innermost reaches of the human mind, the actor makes a fine return to the stage, to be discovered at the Théâtre du Martolet on Saturday, May 30, at 8pm.
As the show is part of the theater's off-season program, tickets are available exclusively online or via ticketcorner sales outlets.
