Theater in Paris: this “K”, what a gift!

It is a textbook case, a special case in contemporary literature. "Le K" is a collection of unstoppable short stories by Dino Buzatti, a model in terms of chiselled writing and falls that fall just like a firm fist on the table, like an exclamation mark. To bring these little everyday stories, tender and cruel, funny and moving, empathetic and squeaky, to life, a man, alone.

In this "K", Grégori Baquet juggles between the characters, brings thirteen stories to life with great humanity. We talk about love, destiny. Time passing. The K is Dino Buzatti's last major work, as a summary of his vision of life. To change the story, as we turn a page, Grégori Baquet relies on a simple decor, a single piece of furniture, in the shape of a K, which, arranged like this or like that, brings relief to the staging. A collection of (good) news.
