KiLLT Bad Flick — a tense family showdown where clashing ideas divide, but reading brings us together

Through a hybrid, ambulatory, theatrical, and visual device, KiLLT — short for Who Will Read the Text — seeks to awaken the pleasure of words, the desire to read, the boldness to speak out, and the vital need to take a stand. The performance only truly exists when each participant brings their own voice, presence, and individuality to breathe life into it.

“Bad Flick!” (Mauvaise Pichenette!) recounts an evening when everything unravels in the kitchen of the Bapst family farm. Anna, a young apprentice in a Michelin-starred restaurant, clashes violently with her family when a group of unaccompanied minor migrants is welcomed by their village — into her former summer camp. The pin is pulled: Anna’s fury confronts her brother’s ideology and her mother’s values. The explosion is inevitable.

This piece confronts us with a reality that is becoming alarmingly familiar in the world: the rise of fascist political thought. With sharp precision, playwright Magali Mougel sketches a portrait of a society where hatred of the other simmers beneath the surface.
