TeTaTet Theater: So It's Love

Polish premiere

Paris. Fashion House. A perfectly tailored world where everything has to match: line, color, proportion... and curriculum vitae. There is no room for chance here - especially if everything is supervised by a mother who knows from the first weeks of life who her son is supposed to be. Hermès Fontaine is the star of the fashion world — sensitive, talented, adored. His life is exactly as it should be. At least according to Florence Fontaine, a charismatic woman, uncompromising and absolutely convinced that love, orientation and happiness can be planned with the same precision as the next collection. The problem arises when something happens in this perfectly controlled world that was not planned.

“So It's Love” is a brilliant, perverse comedy about relationships in which care very easily turns into control and good intentions into merciless manipulation. On stage they meet: a mother who knows best; a son who begins to listen to the heart for the first time; a friend trying to save the day; and a heroine who appears completely out of place - and turns everything upside down. The dialogues are sharp as tailor's scissors, the pace is fast, and the humor is intelligent and at times mercilessly accurate. But beneath the layer of comedy is a very human story about the need for acceptance, the fear of losing influence, and the courage to finally say, “this is my life.”

It's a show about how even the best laid out plan can fall apart in an instant. And that sometimes the biggest scandal is not who you love — but that you dare to love in your own way at all.
