"Patatas Fritas Falsas" by Agnés Mateus and Quim Tarrida, a theatre show playing at the Maison Saint-Gervais in Geneva from January 28 to 30, 2027

From 1939 to 1975, President Franco plunged Spain into a climate of terror and repression. For 40 years, the dictator imposed a totalitarian fascist ideology. In this third installment of a trilogy on violence, "Patatas fritas falsas" tackles political extremism head-on. Agnès Mateus, vociferous and restless, channels a feral energy into every word and an electrifying power into every gesture. This scathing performance plunges the audience into the inner workings of fascism to denounce its brutality, blending satire, political cabaret, techno music, ventriloquism, puppetry, contemporary clowning, and performance art.
