Theater: RIP

Very loosely based on Leo Tolstoy’s *The Death of Ivan Ilyich*, *RIP* is a wild fantasy about the meaning of death—and, by extension, of life. With humor, the Collectif Attention Fragile explores our relationship to our mortality, our illusions of omnipotence, spirituality, ritual, and memory.
What the press is saying
“A favorite! RIP is brilliant and luminous; the scenes are all masterfully executed, and the actors—precise and sensitive—are, just like the text, paradoxically both wild and serious at the same time! It amazes me! ” – France Bleu | Ici Vaucluse
“The writing, set design, direction, and the actors’ performances—everything is perfectly interwoven and flows seamlessly. The result… It’s simply BRILLIANT! My favorite show of the festival!” – Sortiz
“An entertaining play to enjoy with the whole family, both for its offbeat humor and for its profound yet lighthearted exploration of the theme of death.” – Vivant Magazine
“This social satire takes on Dionysian overtones and, above all, becomes an opportunity to celebrate life. What exuberance! What vitality! […] These seven actors sweep the audience along on their festive and playful wave.” – Le Montreuillois
