I’m Listening, at La Divine Comédie 

Usually, you go to see a therapist to talk about your worries. They listen patiently and maybe offer a few tips. Normally, you don’t insult or physically threaten your therapist, and they don’t put you down or threaten to call the police. But here, nothing is perfectly ordinary. With rhythm, , and lots of laughter… This comedy co-written by Benabar and Hector Cabelo Reyes has all the ingredients for us to enjoy the best moments.
