In the aftermath of a serious nuclear contamination, Victor and Darline live barricaded at home, wear gas masks and raise a child in a world that seems to have no future. They try not to succumb, to establish a new normal, but something shocking will definitely mark their destiny.

What if, for just one night, we could see the true face of a generation? That is what happens to Zefiro in a suffocating, run-down nightclub, a stage for a disillusioned and hypocritical humanity. Within this grotesque microcosm move a series of emblematic figures: Cassandra, the activist whose conscience is only seemingly clear; Crick, the bully with no glory; Essere, the self-harmer searching for a sense of self; and Aurora, the femme fatale who embodies both desire and emptiness. As the night unfolds, the characters abandon their façades on the stage of an empty theatre. No audience, no applause: only Zefiro, left to contemplate their naked fragility, shattered dreams, unresolved fears, and uncomfortable truths. L’Opéra is a raw and poetic journey into the souls of those who, every day, play a role that never truly feels like their own.
