Dabija outdoes himself with this chronicle of the absurdness of married life, rendered in the key of a detective story. The set, costumes, “vintage” music and actors’ style of playing place the performance in a charming “retro” area only to enhance the cynicism in the text. A very young team from the ambitious German theater plays the director’s game to rediscover Ionesco for a 2009 audience.
