LE CONGRÈS NE MARCHE PAS (by La Calòrica)
Another masterpiece from La Calòrica. This is a synopsis of the play “The Congress of Vienna”, which is presented as a political comedy about the famous historical congress of 1814-1815. The play portrays Minister Metternich trying to prevent revolutions by inviting the leaders of Russia, England and Prussia to Vienna. What begins as a simple meeting turns into the party of the century, mixing territorial negotiations with amorous conflicts and ideological debates with ego fights.
The piece explores themes such as the end of the Ancien Régime and the rise of capitalist society, presenting it as a grandiose and frivolous comedy, but with strong political undertones. It uses the historical context to reflect on the current society that celebrates itself on the verge of collapse.
