Les ogres is about a traveling theatre company playing Chekhov. We can see clever theatre production and beautiful singing. But the drama is more about exacerbated personalities that gave away any semblance of material security to invest themselves into their passion. For them, beside the theatre, there are the never ending difficulty of sharing existence with coworkers and their relatives, the amorous or irate feelings for members of the company and the complications that follow. It is the eternal contradiction of human existence: the longing for being free from human society and at the same time, the need of others to assure personal survival and live another day. There is no escaping it.
