L'augmentation
Texte Gorges Perec
Mise en scène Ariel Ifergan
L’art et la manière d’aborder son chef de service pour lui demander une augmentation est un divertissement, un clin d’oeil du grand Georges Perec. Une seule phrase de 80 pages, sans ponctuation, pour traduire l’agitation mentale qui nous saisit dès lors qu’on a adopté la décision qui donne son titre à la pièce. Décider est une chose, agir en est une autre…
