Quand viendra La Fin ou L'espoir Meurt En Dernier (QVLFoLMED) is an original theatrical creation written and staged by Flavien Viallet (originally from Moulins). It is played by 7 young actors at the end of their studies at the Cours Florent in Paris and hosted at the CNCS as a work- and research residence from September 12 to 20, 2026.
Through crossed narratives, mixing grotesque and tragic, this piece questions our relationship to the world, to others, and to ourselves through the mechanisms of domination, transmission, and resilience of the human being.
