Ordet de Kaj Munk

[Theatre]

In Danishwriter Kaj Munk’s play Ordet, famously adapted to the screen by Carl Dreyer in 1925, two rival families are faced with the
death and miraculous resurrection of a woman. In this first staging of Ordet in France, director Arthur Nauzyciel strips the play of
its historical implications to highlight the spiritual strife. Set in a claire-obscure, geometrical decor, it presents us with a powerful
allegory ofman’s despair in the face of nothingness.
