Description

Awarded numerous prizes, the quirky and colorful modernization of Oscar Wilde's humorous masterpiece is coming to Avignon!<p> Emma and Charlotte are two young women who decide to bend the truth to make their lives a little more exciting. Emma invents a virtual sister, Claire, who lives in Paris in the lap of luxury. She uses this false identity as an excuse to leave her rural home and participate in the vibrant life of the capital alongside her beloved Guillaume, Charlotte's cousin.</p><p> But things get complicated when the latter, a confirmed Parisian and gambler, eager to leave her highly codified bourgeois world, discovers the subterfuge and decides in turn to pass herself off as Claire...</p><p> Amidst misunderstandings and eccentric characters, "The Importance of Being Clear" is a loose adaptation of "The Importance of Being Earnest." Oscar Wilde's famous comedy undoubtedly transcends its era, offering a reflection on appearance and identity that readily lends itself to transposition. While retaining its characteristic absurdity and pronounced caricatures, Nom d'une troupe! invites you to rediscover this masterpiece of humor.<br><br> <strong>Did you know that?</strong><br> Winner of the Audience Award and Jury Prize at the Les 6 coups du Brigadier festival in 2024, The Importance of Being Clear also won the Audience Award at the Fous rires de Courbevoie festival in January 2025 as well as the Best Actor Award for Matthieu Lemaréchal.</p>
