Dennis Kelly's 'Après la fin' Thriller at Festival Avignon Off

The play 'Après la fin' (After the End), a thriller by Dennis Kelly, is being performed at the Festival Avignon Off. The story follows Louise, who wakes up in an underground shelter after a nuclear disaster, and Mark, who claims to have saved her. As they struggle with confinement, doubt and manipulation escalate into a psychological duel. The production is by the same company that staged Kelly's 'ORPHELINS' in 2025, which is being revived this year. The play has received critical acclaim, with reviews from La Terrasse, France Info, Arts-Chipels, and Sceneweb praising its tense atmosphere and exploration of human nature.
