Until December 31, 2016, the Michel Theater reveals the inner torments of a couple in crisis through La Peur by Stefan Zweig. Modern adaptation of a short story written in 1913 by Stefan Zweig, La Peur is a play built like a suspense novel, whose oppressive atmosphere recalls the cinematographic universe of Hitchcock, in particular that of Rear Window.

One evening, a woman who claims to be her lover's companion calls out to her, forbidding her to come back to see him and demanding money in exchange for her silence.
