This play is directed by Yanis Azaiez. The staging highlights the complexity of human relationships and the fragile bonds between friends, all wrapped up in a dramatic comedy.

The protagonists of this evening are Rachi Afsahi, Grégory Dutoit, Yohann Emonot, Lolita Foussat, Tigrane Garabédian, Tom Perret, and Marie Rioux, joined by Nina Simon alternating with Jane Mazue.

The authors, Tigrane Garabédian and Frédéric Gonzales, have emphasized the unspoken and the silences throughout the play. This in camera setting, brilliantly highlighted by Johan Guion and Sébastien Lux, pushes the characters to reveal the dark corners of their personalities. These revelations lead to uncomfortable silences, literally expressing the play's title.

Set design by Djamel Aissaoui plays a central role in this theatrical experience. It creates an emotionally charged atmosphere that accentuates the dramatic thread of the story.
