A political ascent that promises to be as funny as it is cruel: "Le Prix de l'Ascension" traces the career of two ambitious enarques. To be seen at the Théâtre de la Contrescarpe until March 30, 2025.

Le Prix de l'Ascension depicts the journey of two young enarques with opposing ambitions in the ruthless world of politics. Laurent, the son of a senior civil servant, arrogant and out of touch with social realities, will gradually discover France beyond the Périph'. Brice, brilliant and from a modest background, will have to navigate between his convictions and the reality of power to find his place.

This play is aimed at fans of political satire and those curious about the mechanisms of power. Funny, fast-paced and incisive, it promises an entertaining yet critical look at the inner workings of the French political system.

The play should paint an uncompromising portrait of the ambitions and career paths that lead to the highest decision-making spheres. Between social confrontation and political strategies, it seems to be in line with satirical comedies on the world of power.
