Holland’s largest repertory company Toneelgroep Amsterdam renders an inspired and shattering vision of Jean Cocteau’s seminal text, “La Voix Humaine.” This story of abandonment, grief and heartbreak centers on a desperate woman’s last phone call to an ex-lover. Masterfully directed by Ivo Van Hove, “La Voix Humaine” has been described by The Village Voice as “a spare, raw, enormously affecting production.” The audiences’ most voyeuristic impulses are skillfully manipulated in this spellbinding tour-de-force production.
