La Ronde is a laboratory of emotions in constant evolution, a cabaret of erotic urges and of often uncontrollable emotions, with relationships evolving into a constellation of expectations, fantasies, frustrations, failures, reencounters, ways of escaping from normative constraints. Yann Verburgh’s text, an inventive rewriting of Arthur Schnitzler’s Hands Around, presents director Eugen Jebeleanu the space that lets him imagine the relationships between the intimate, the social and the political. La Ronde deepens both the need to belong and the liberating dream of defying exclusive belongings and of loving beyond the imposed or accepted limits. (the NTF curators’ motivation)
