FALSE NOTE

Geneva Philharmonic. The dressing room of the internationally renowned conductor H. P. Miller shortly after the end of one of his concerts. The orchestra did not play well, so Miller is angry. He just wants to take a shower and go home. But his great admirer Leon Dinkel comes into the dressing room to see him, claiming that he has come all the way from Belgium just to pay his respects to the maestro. Miller can't get rid of the annoying Dinkel, but Dinkel doesn't want to leave the dressing room at any price. Miller wants to call the police, but when he sees the old photo Dinkel brought him, everything changes. With the old photo, Miller's terrifying past, kept secret all his life, enters the locker room. Who is Leon Dinkel really? What does he really want? Who leaves the dressing room at the end of the interview?

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

The production is a collaboration between the Slovak National Theatre and Theatre Without Masks, o.z. with the financial support of the CAP Foundation and the Tatra banka Foundation.
