MADAME LA MORT

Presented by Labyrinth Productions and Full Moon Theatre, Madame la Mort is a hallucinatory, darkly comic reimagining of Rachilde’s forgotten Symbolist play - not a revival, but a total reinvention. Taking the original’s provocation as a jumping-off point, it explores what it means to want to die in a world where everyone wants to turn your pain into content.

 

At its centre is a young man on the edge, watched, monetised, and mythologised by those around him. Friends, lovers, and strangers morph into spectators and exploiters - each trying to claim his story as their own. The piece moves between brutal realism and surreal cabaret, breaking form and tone as freely as the internet collapses tragedy into trend.

 

Through physical theatre, fragmented dialogue, and a shifting soundscape inspired by Ravel’s music, Madame la Mort becomes a queer, dreamlike autopsy of performance, suicide, and the fetishisation of suffering.
