On Christmas Eve – a celebration he detests above all others and happily qualifies as “humbug” – Ebenezer Scrooge, an avaricious moneylender – is visited by three ghosts…
The first one takes Scrooge back in time to past Christmases. The second one takes him on a journey through the present, showing him the poverty that surrounds him and which he does nothing to combat. And the third takes him to an incredibly bleak future, where a helpless Scrooge witnesses his own death, alone and reviled by all. Overwhelmed by these revelations about himself and the world around him, Scrooge performs a last minute act of redemption, just moments before the joyous bells ring out for Christmas…
“I remain convinced that all the evils committed by individuals on this Earth come in large part from the evils previously suffered by those same individuals. And nowhere has anyone more clearly expressed this in a simple story than Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol.” Claude-Inga Barbey
This comedy show plays with the populist figures of our time, bringing to the stage a hilarious and absurd character based humour.
A mysterious creature invites the audience into a fantastic world. We find ourselves near elections and a promising candidate is visiting our town. His name is Richard Tator, and he is incredibly charming in spite of his unsymmetrical appearance. Standing beside him, is his beautiful wife Christine Suzanne and Rychbich, the very loyal campaign manager. Together, they present solutions that will satisfy the most urgent need of the people.
