“CLUSTER” play by the Comédie des Alpes.
A New Year’s Eve has never been so positive!
Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away…a planetary pandemic. Well… maybe not that far away the galaxy after all! So let’s say once upon a time… a global pandemic. Or rather, a virus.
Well no, it’s not really a story of a pandemic or
virus, it’s more of a New Year’s Eve story…
I start again: once upon a time… a New Year’s Eve. Finally no, it’s not a New Year’s Eve story either, in fact it’s more a story of friendship.
There you have it ! It is a story of friendship put to the test by the social climate linked to a global pandemic itself linked
to a virus. It wasn’t that complicated.
So here I go again: once upon a time there was a group of friends who were determined to spend New Year’s Eve all together in Jean-Charles’ new chalet (Jean-Charles is the friend who made it through the group of friends) ( class what). But that was without counting on the ability of the mysterious virus to interfere. Like what, there are more positive New Year’s Eve than others…
Any resemblance to real situations or to existing or having existed persons can only be pure coincidence (well, I believe).
After Cretins of the Alps and The patient despite him, Thomas Caruso Aragona signs, with Cluster, a zany societal comedy worthy of the worst parts of Cluedo in the history of Cluedo. A creaking camera with 6 actors and 3 stuffed animals.
Laughing at a subject that has turned our lives upside down is the feat that Cluster pulls off in a general atmosphere that could recall that of a dinner party for idiots… But then, who is playing the idiot here? The virus ? Or friends?
