An older man meets a young, pretty woman in a bar. They take an instant liking to each other and it soon becomes clear where the evening will end. The charming and amusing Don Juan prefers not to mention his wife and son. But who has he got himself into? Or has he possibly fallen into her net? The truth gradually comes to light in his apartment. The femme fatale not only turns his head, but also that of the audience. Who is the stranger? Is she just out for a casual fling? And what happened while he thought he was asleep? The evening becomes an emotional rollercoaster ride.
A sophisticated game of cat and mouse with many surprising twists and turns.
En passant, this play raises universal questions that concern us in our everyday lives: What is masculinity? What does it mean to be a good father? And how can a relationship succeed when passion fades? The French star playwright Éric Assous, who died in 2020, has become an integral part of international theater life. In his political comedies, he creates precisely drawn characters, a sophisticated plot structure and impresses with dazzling wordplay. ACHTERBAHN premiered in 2004 with Alain Delon and Astrid Veillon at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris to great acclaim.
