La Cérémonie - Kick off

400asa

Theatre

In "La Cérémonie" - based on the same-titled film by the French director Claude Chabrol - the dramatic climax is the scene in which a bourgeois family is shot by the uneducated maid using a family own hunting rifle while sitting in the opera. 400asa translates the political issues into sensual entertainment using music reaching from commercial musical to complex opera adaptations.
