By turns careless and carefree, hilarious and absurd, these impetuous explorers interact with their surroundings, triggering a series of ordinary accidents and mundane mishaps. This small sample of humanity, linked together by improbable situations, gradually transforms the empty space of the stage into a universe filled with possibilities.
With sharp wit and a keen eye for the unexpected, Alix Dufresne and Étienne Lepage shake up both theatrical and social norms. Experimenting with the porous border between the stage and audience, Malaise dans la civilisation (Civilization and Its Discontents) creates a strange, playful world where complex characters innocently test the boundaries of morality leaving nothing (and no one) untouched.
