Fausse note - Alexandre Arcady

Fausse Note plunges the audience into a gripping, closed-door drama set in the heart of the Opéra Comique in Paris. Through the unexpected encounter between two men who seem to have nothing in common, the trauma of a past that binds them to their fates is revealed. How far will this night of truth and vengeance go to break the silence of history?

Paris, 1990. As Europe undergoes radical change following the fall of the Berlin Wall, an internationally renowned conductor gives a farewell concert at the Opéra Comique. After the performance, an admirer manages to approach him. What seemed to be nothing more than a chance encounter gradually turns into an unprecedented confrontation. Who is this man who came to attend the concert? Why is he so keen to meet the Maestro?

As the night unfolds, the past resurfaces, unimaginable and utterly unexpected. A poignant, at times comical, and always dizzying face-to-face encounter ensues, from which neither protagonist will emerge unscathed.
