FAKE NOTE

Geneva Philharmonic. The dressing room of internationally renowned conductor HP Miller shortly after one of his concerts. The orchestra did not play well, so Miller is angry. All he wants to do is take a shower and go home. But his great admirer León Dinkel comes to him in the dressing room, claiming that he traveled all the way from Belgium to the concert just to pay his respects to the maestro. Miller cannot get rid of the annoying Dinkel, Dinkel does not want to leave the dressing room at any cost. Miller wants to call the police, but when he sees an old photo that Dinkel has brought him, everything changes. With the old photo, Miller's terrifying past, kept secret all his life, enters the dressing room. Who is León Dinkel really? What does he really want? Who leaves the dressing room at the end of the interview?

The play The False Note had its world premiere at the Off d'Avignon festival in 2017, and then transferred to the Théâtre Michel in Paris. A powerful story full of tension with a masterfully constructed plot puts the viewer in the role of judge. The Hamlet-like spirit of the play reveals the truth of the past and tears down the masks that hide the true faces of the two protagonists, who are playing a "chess game" against each other. The audience witnesses the gradual psychological collapse of a man who first tries to save his reputation and then his bare life in a game he is forced to play against his will.

The production was created in cooperation with the Slovak National Theatre and the Maskless Theatre, with financial support from the SPP Foundation and the Tatra Bank Foundation.
