A NIGHT AT THE CABARET

For 14 nights, the Avignon Theater Festival has been host to an astonishing contemporary cabaret. Poetic, funny and unconventional, this show is brimming with eccentric personalities and actors from a wide range of disciplines. Director Jacques Renard has filmed the performances and behind the scenes
as well as the interactions between the actors and the public. He invites us to discover Olivier Py’s ferocious and nostalgic revival of Berlin cabaret and to enter Dominique Boivin’s poetic world. Boivin’s dance company offers us a
choreography of cabaret images which sides more with humor and the absurd than with a polished music-hall performance.
