Les Flâneuses Company
One room. Two women. No way out.

PERFORMANCE DETAILS
A Manager. An Employee. A meeting that should take ten minutes.
The questions start small, routine, almost procedural. About conduct. About loyalty. About what you do when nobody's watching. Then they don't stop. Because this isn't really about the company anymore. It's about a system that has quietly decided your private life is its business (your body, your beliefs, your bedroom) and found a polite, legal, perfectly reasonable way to take it.
Contractions is what happens when an HR meeting becomes an interrogation, and the interrogation becomes a verdict on what kind of person is still allowed to exist inside the institution. No raised voices. Just power, doing what power has always done, quietly, patiently, with your signature on file.
You'll leave questioning every form you've ever signed, wanting to argue about it.
About power. About what you'd be willing to give up to keep everything you have.
How far would you go to not lose everything?

Reviews
'The kind of hidden gem you come to Avignon for.' - Froggy's Delight
'A cruel, harmonious back-and-forth at the service of a visionary play about workplace harassment.' - Michel Flandrin
'A universal subject, and an increasingly urgent one.' - L'Orient Le Jour
'Through tense dialogue, silences, raw humour, and the unsaid, the play reveals the weight of capitalism's demands ...demands that infiltrate every corner of our lives, turning us into objects rather than subjects.' - L'Agenda Culturel
'Two actors to follow closely.' - Les 2M&co
