2016 | Director Playwright
Scenic technology - Text - Theatre
A phone call to a wrong number unleashes the action of one of the American writer Paul Auster’s best-known novels, the first of the acclaimed Trilogy of New York. A mysterious interlocutor calls Daniel Quinn, asking for a private detective named Paul Auster, which gives rise to an intriguing and disturbing plot.
The literary work inspired the creation of a graphic novel by Paul Karasik and David Mazzuchelli. From this comic strip, the Obskené theatre company explores the interaction between projections of black and white drawings and the interpretations of three actors who give life to a multitude of the book’s characters on the stage. Comedy, theatre and literature come together in this show.
