LOVE returns after its great success at the Ateliers Berthier in 2018. Set in temporary social accommodation in Great Britain, the play shows very different people brought together by the vagaries of life and forced to spend time together. Thanks to his thorough work with the actors, Alexander Zeldin makes this small, unstable and emotional community both comic and tragic. A little girl rehearses her Christmas song. A son washes his mother's hair in a sink. A family shares breakfast as if the others did not exist. Amid the tensions and despondency, love sometimes springs up as the most constant fuel of life.
