Surprise party

The April 30 2024

Français

To everyone's surprise, Jon Gnarr, comedian and punk musician, is elected mayor of the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik. His political party, labeled "anarcho-surrealist", finds itself propelled to the head of the largest municipality in the country.

Inspired by real events, this political comedy traces the story of an electoral campaign initially conceived as a hoax. Against the backdrop of an economic crisis, we follow a group of artists who manage to infiltrate the spheres of power.
Surprise party plays with the rhetorical rules of political debate and the codes of stand-up. In a festive and excited rhythm reminiscent of the punk universe of the main protagonist, six actors and actresses twirl from one role to another, serving in turn each of the 21 characters who populate this surrealist campaign.
