July 10


Je Suis le Vent (10-11:10pm)
by Jon Fosse
direction by Patrice Chéreau

Touted by my friend - a Parisian cultural-critic on assignment here at the Fest - as the best piece in this year's Festival and one of the best things she's seen in the past four years, I can only reply that I disagree. And as there is sure to be enough congratulatory cheer for the director, I humbly lodge the following tirade in an attempt to dissuade the scales from weighing exclusively in his favor, and perhaps to temper a few of his more ardent fans in their acclaim.
