The new production by JV & Team deals with desire as an existential condition of being human. Inspired by Denis Diderot’s dialogical rambling novel “Jacques the Fatalist and his Master”, in which the servant binds his master to himself by recounting adventures in love, we question the way desire is dealt with today, in a neoliberal, enlightened and consumerist society.
“Dear sir, one spends three quarters of one’s life wanting to act without acting”. (Denis Diderot, “Jacques the Fatalist and His Master” Winkler Verlag, Munich. 1979)
