An incredible night. A journey through time…
1942, in occupied France, seven friends gather at the Pélissier's for a birthday dinner. The evening is going smoothly when two German officers are shot at the foot of the building. As retaliation, Commander Kaubach of the Gestapo takes over the building to demand two hostages from each apartment. However, recognizing Victor Pélissier, a bookseller he frequents and appreciates for his advice, he grants the guests a "courtesy" of two hours to choose the two hostages who will be executed. The Meal of the Wild Beasts can begin…
Saving one's skin at any cost by trampling on the rules of friendship and love, resorting to all indignities: this is the framework of this enlightening closed-door play, imbued with cruelty and humor.
