ALLIANCE(S)

COMEDY With *Alliance(s)*, Vincent Cordier delivers writing of formidable precision. The show is built around a series of perfectly crafted sketches in which every character, every situation, and every line finds its rightful place. Wry without ever being cynical, exhilarating without ever resorting to the easy way out, *Alliance(s)* pokes fun with delightfully sharp wit at everyone’s little compromises, flaws, and quirks without ever condemning anyone. A thoroughly delightful arthouse comedy. Paul and Valery are getting married. A big day, a beautiful celebration… but behind the forced smiles, the masks gradually slip away to reveal quirks, secrets, jealousies, petty meanness, and grand hypocrisies. Amid gaffes, blunders, and truths that come bursting out, this wedding becomes a joyful showcase of humanity that is at once tender, cruel, and irresistibly funny.
