La Ménagerie e. V.
Locked in the kitchen of their family home, five siblings meet for their mother's wedding. Between reunions, confrontations and revelations, "Contresoirée" explores the complexity of family relationships and the challenges of healing old wounds.
The title refers to the main setting of the action: the kitchen of the family home. While the actual celebration is in full swing offstage, a different, more intimate and emotionally charged gathering is taking place in the kitchen.
The play addresses sensitive and often repressed topics such as homosexuality, gender and sexual violence and alcoholism. The aim of the production is to break the silence surrounding these topics and to encourage honest, open dialogues.
La Ménagerie e. V. is working with Lara e.V., a Berlin-based organization against sexualized violence against women, to raise awareness and support local initiatives.
Thanks to the translation by Les Berlinguistes e.V., “Contresoirée” will reach both a French and a German-speaking audience.
