By combining the plots of L\u2019\u00c9preuve<\/em> and La Dispute<\/em>, Robin Ormond transposes Marivaux\u2019s world into the present, where seduction becomes a social experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The characters watch, test, and manipulate one another in a stripped-down, almost clinical space where every gesture reveals a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marivaudian game turns into a study of love under suspicion: what remains of trust when affection itself becomes procedural?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA freely inspired adaptation of Marivaux: L\u2019\u00c9preuve<\/em> Robin Ormond\u2019s L\u2019\u00c9preuve plunges us into a retro-futurist dystopia \u2013 disorienting, full of poetry and imagination.
By intertwining La Dispute<\/em> and L\u2019\u00c9preuve<\/em> in a contemporary setting, Ormond reveals the disquieting modernity of Marivaux\u2019s thought.
Through an atmospheric, slightly queer staging, he exposes the hidden wounds of desire.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn ambitious blend of genres!
Marivaux\u2019s language is rediscovered here in a novel, richly textured way.
The direction of the actors reaches for grand theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRobin Ormond fuses L\u2019\u00c9preuve<\/em> and La Dispute<\/em> into a contemporary experiment on love and control in the age of surveillance.
In a translucent set, the characters believe themselves free while being trapped in a confined space, observed by an unseen \u2018Prince.\u2019
A sharp, unsettling reinterpretation about the impossibility of true love in a world of screens and masquerades.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
