The Dupe

There was a young woman growing up in the countryside in French-speaking Switzerland, far from the stage and the artistic world. There were texts, patiently waiting for her to find them. Then came the moment she discovered the language of theatre, its horizon, and its questions about Life. Trained as an actress at the Geneva Conservatoire, then a director at ENSATT (École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Techniques du Théâtre in Lyon) and the Académie de La Comédie-Française, Maryse Estier has put down roots in the world of theatre with patience and passion. She has founded her own company, which she commits to powerful texts, those we call “classics” as well as contemporary ones, and demonstrates her immense talent, creation after creation. And so it is with Feydeau and his Dindon, a play in three acts and prose first performed in Paris on 8 February 1896 at Théâtre du Palais Royal, whose misunderstandings and twists never cease to delight us, where love, turned upside down, plays its greatest role, and whose thundering fantasy, under the director’s watchful eye, makes for more than a simple reinterpretation but rather a rediscovery.
