Somewhat like an episode of the programme Strip-Tease, Paix is a ‘documentary’ without voice-over, where the camera seems to burst into the lives of ordinary people.
Here we follow a local company that is trying, as best it can, to make art together, while everything around it is falling apart. The scenes of the work's creation are intertwined with moments of everyday life, in which each character struggles to maintain a fragile peace that is essential to the group's existence.
Winner of the 2017 François Silvant Prize and the 2019 Theatre Prize from the Vaud Foundation for Culture, actress, comedian and improviser Tiphanie Bovay-Klameth draws her inspiration from real life. With a precise and generous eye, she captures postures, accents, tender awkwardness – all those insignificant details that conceal the dramas and joys of existence. She embodies a whole host of characters on her own, with impressive dexterity and caustic humour!
