Presentation
Arriving from Stockholm to stay with his cousins, Frederick has only one thing on his mind: to seduce his cousin Eleanor. He doesn't know that behind the walls of their castle, the Falsen family is hiding unspeakable secrets.
Winter sets in, and they're all trapped in the snow. Frédéric then becomes the puppet in the ferocious play the Falsens reserve for their guests every year. Will he escape the tragic fate of his predecessors?
A cruel and irreverent comedy carried by characters doomed to idleness, some would say slaves to their madness. The storytelling and the playfulness that permeate the work recall that Françoise Sagan originally wrote it to amuse her group of friends. In staging this ferocious text imbued with wit today, we also enjoy, like big children, taking the play seriously. This could be a definition of theater, and what better way to illustrate it than with a classic (in this case, from the 20th century)?
The Compagnie du Colimaçon strives to embrace fantasy while respecting the text and interpreting complex characters without neglecting their psychology or their archetypal origins. The creative team has managed to imagine a thousand subtleties to convey the suspense of Castle in Sweden, a play with multiple surprises, both moral and theatrical. Let the invigorating and irreverent wind of Sweden blow!
