Bergman's Dämon, El Funeral is not only an eagerly-awaited play in the capital after its triumph at the Avignon Festival, it's also likely to leave a lasting impression. The poignant play, by Angélica Liddell, is performed in Spanish, French and Swedish, with French surtitles, and highlights the demons of Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish filmmaker, while inviting us to confront "our own becoming". It runs from September 26 to October 6 at theOdéon Théâtre de l'Europe.
Dämon, Bergman's El Funeral warns that certain scenes may offend audiences. The deeply moving play is not recommended for children. The filmmaker Ingmar Bergman had prepared his funeral before his death, and had drawn up a list of his "demons".Angélica Liddell 's play is not a tribute to Bergman, but rather a "recognition of his ghost".
