Fate mocks choices: charity evening at the Théâtre Lepic

The Théâtre Lepic is organizing a special evening dedicated to the fight against breast cancer with a performance of the play Le destin se moque des choix(Fate Mocks Choice), written and directed by Fabrice Tosoni. Presented on Saturday, December 13, at 6:30 p.m., this event combines theater and solidarity, with all proceeds going to the Breast Center at Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital, as indicated in the official presentation document.

The show brings together Carine Ribert and Lily Rubens in a story centered on two women who meet in the emergency room. Mathilde is waiting for news about her husband, who has been injured in a fire, while Pilar hopes to understand her son's condition after an accident. Both women see their lives turned upside down and wonder if they could have made different choices. The story alternates between past and present, highlighting the personal paths that led them to this precise moment and questioning the degree of freedom each person has in the face of destiny.

The staging favors a fluid narrative that follows the two trajectories, exploring the moments of doubt, renunciation, and hope that shape their stories. The text addresses the themes of individual responsibility, the unpredictability of life, and resilience in the face of sudden upheavals. The staging focuses on the relationship between the two protagonists, placing their exchanges at the heart of the drama, in a soberly evoked hospital setting.
