Markus Öhrn's Radical Adaptation of Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage at Odéon

Markus Öhrn directs a radical adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage at the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe in Paris. The play follows Johan and Marianne, a couple unable to live together or apart, as their relationship deteriorates over years of conflict, dependence, and buried violence. Rejecting realism, Öhrn transposes the intimate story into a grotesque and disturbing universe. Characters wear masks and are confined in a white box resembling a laboratory, becoming figures in a cruel game where physical and psychological domestic violence appears in all its absurdity. Blending Grand-Guignol, caricature, and social satire, the performance holds a distorting mirror to the audience's own impulses and the conventions governing couples. The production runs from May 20 to June 7, 2026, Tuesday to Saturday at 8 PM, Sunday at 3 PM. Ticket prices range from €7 to €43.
