Theater: “Art,” a contemporary classic revisited by François Morel

Theater: “Art,” a contemporary classic revisited by François Morel

François Morel (right, with Olivier Broche, one of his former Deschiens colleagues) adapts "Art" by Yasmina Reza. Manuelle Toussaint
Thirty years after its first premiere and a success that elevated it to the rank of cult tragicomedy, Yasmina Reza's "Art" returns to the stage in an adaptation by François Morel. A stimulating story of art and friendship, which always hits the mark.

"My friend Serge bought a painting. It's a canvas about four feet by five feet, painted white. The background is white, and if you blink, you can see thin white lines running across it." This is the opening line of "Art," currently playing at the Théâtre Montparnasse in Paris. Facing the audience, in a sober apartment setting, François Morel stands alone. The actor, who also directed the show, is Marc, one of three characters who will gradually come to inhabit the space.
