In her play, a monologue of a woman, which, as her personal wish, is to be played by a man, the celebrated author Yasmina Reza once again puts her finger on the wound that gapes between aspiration and reality, appearance and being, wanting and being able to.
Anne-Marie is an old woman, an old actress, but not one who had the world at her feet, not one who was celebrated as a “star” or even a “diva.” Rather, she counted among the eternally “short-changed”: the great roles and fees on the highly regarded stages, yes, even the most desirable men, were always awarded to others. Anne Marie had dreams for her life, dreams that did not come true, yet she is without bitterness and does not hold it against her dreams that they did not materialize.
Her unflinching, yet always humorous look back at her life is also an inventory of a fading era, in which theater was still a central venue for social debates and the mirror of intellectual and political discourse. Yasmina Reza mixes melancholic and highly comic moments in this life assessment of a theater artist.
Peter Lüchinger in his last role at the bsc gives as the title character the hostess of the evening, merging role and personality into a uniquely oscillating unity. The role of Anne-Marie is tailor-made for Peter Lüchinger, a member of the (almost) first company hour.
