Never award the Nobel Prize to Strindberg.

- Alfred Nobel

Strindberg, the Shakespeare of Northern Europe,

Invites you to the breathtaking scene of three men and women

August Strindberg, the father of modern theater who succeeded Ibsen and Chekhov. This problematic writer, who even challenged the authority of the Nobel Prize, gives birth to another provocative work that describes a perilous relationship between a man and two women. Through this black comedy, which is shocking enough that it would be believable even if it were to have been written today, the writer poses a significant question. The atrocious tale, unfolded by the dialogue between the daughter of a count and her servant, is steeped with the desire for class and sex. The audience will be fully engaged for 90 minutes while engrossed in utter suspense. And you will be the one witnessing the story of the three, whose risky relationship is treading on thin ice.

Synopsis

"Tonight, we'll lay down everything, even our positions, and just enjoy the party!"

On the eve of the midsummer festival, everyone is eating and drinking to their heart's content. Julie, the daughter of the Count, refuses to visit her relative's house with her father and decides to stay home, hang out with her servants, and dance with Jean, her senior servant. After dancing with Julie, Jean comes back to the kitchen where his fiance, Christine, is staying, and tries to control his sexual arousal when Julie comes in. An odd sense of tension mounts amongst the three as they begin to unveil their past and desires that they had been hiding all along.
