Al Zifaf (The Wedding) is a one-act play written by young Bertolt Brecht about a wedding in which everyone needs to look good and during which everything goes wrong. While lightly and cruelly mocking delusions and conventions, the play reveals the gap between images we long to project and reality.
 
 
(الزفاف) نص للكاتب المسرحي (برتولد بريشت)، يدور حول عرس عائلي يرغب جميع الأفراد فيه بالتظاهر بأنهم على مايرام، بينما تتجه الأحداث من سيء إلى الأسوأ. بمزيج من الخفة والقسوة، تسخر المسرحية من التقاليد والأوهام، وتلقي الضوء على المفارقة التي تعيشها الشخصيات والتي نعيشها نحن، بين ما نرغب بتصويره للآخرين عن أنفسنا، وبين الواقع المتغلب علينا بإستمرار
 
 

La Noce est une pièce en un acte écrite par le jeune Bertolt Brecht, autour d’un mariage où tout le monde doit avoir fière allure, mais au cours duquel tout tourne mal. Légère et cruelle, la pièce démonte les illusions et les conventions, en mettant à jour le fossé entre les images désespérément projetées et la puissance de la réalité qui nous rattrape.
