Francis Huster returns to the theatre in a deeply moving and deeply troubled role – that of a therapist on the brink of the abyss, overwhelmed by his patients and his own life.
As he tries to help his patients from falling apart, it is his own life that is teetering on the edge.
Each session becomes a mirror of his flaws, his regrets and his humanity, whilst at the same time his patients – whose lives are slipping away – await his help.
Adapted from the cult TV series BeTipul, En Thérapie explores the hidden side of those who confide in others and of the person who draws out their innermost thoughts. Face-to-face encounters and power struggles, for human nature is fragile, and life’s twists and turns heighten the passions we thought were forbidden within the hushed confines of a therapist’s office.
An intense, closed-door drama, driven by subtle writing and taut direction, where the personal becomes universal.
