Read full details
Julien Vella and the Groupe Caute bring Robert Musil's monumental, unfinished novel *The Man Without Qualities* to the stage at Théâtre de la Bastille. The production prioritises the questions that animate the book over its plot: how to live in an age of profit, nationalism, and war, and how a young generation can defy cynicism and nostalgia to invent its own language.
The performance blends fragments of song, dance, clown acts, pantomime, and stand-up into a series of tableaux, mirroring the novel's mix of satire, narrative, essay, and metaphysical prose. Refusing to conclude, the show turns the stage into a living laboratory where history is written before the audience's eyes, inviting them to take part.
