The play is set in Paris, where every year, a strong-willed old billionaire decides to stake her fortune on a card game. The victims of her game, Jean-Luc and Pierrette, are a couple on the verge of despair who see this annual challenge as an opportunity to reverse their fate. Armed with their clever daughter and their determination, they embark on a game of fools, where every word and gesture can change their destiny. This production is the fruit of a collaboration between established talents and up-and-coming theater stars. The director is Raymond Acquaviva, a name that evokes a deep expertise and understanding of theater. The cast, still in progress, promises to bring a breath of fresh air with performers such as Atmen Kelif and Marie Parouty.

A reinterpretation of this comic play, for those who appreciate classic works revisited with a modern twist, and those looking to discover or rediscover Amanda Lear in a different light. It's a great opportunity for theater fans to see a living legend in action, and for newcomers to plunge into a world where laughter and reflection go hand in hand.

Beyond its entertainment value, the play speaks to universal themes such as greed, malice and the complexity of human relationships. In short, "L'Argent de la vieille" at Théâtre Libre offers a fine reflection on our society, the bonds we forge and what we're prepared to risk to get what we want, from February 1 to May 5, 2024.
