Since then, his radical works have continually shaken European theatre. The often-iconoclastic plays go against the grain of the scripts and take a caustic and uncompromising look at the contemporary world. On the occasion of his latest play, Cinema Apollo adapted from the novel Contempt by A. Moravia, the film paints a portrait of the stage director at work.
