About the show:
In the apparent calm of a therapy office, sessions follow one another with a succession of extraordinary patients.
The first to open up: ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence in the midst of burnout, overwhelmed by absurd requests at all hours. He dreams of a simple life.
Then comes Batman's aunt, completely overwhelmed by her nephew who transforms into the Dark Knight at every family meal.
Then comes Joan of Arc, in the middle of a group mediation... with her voices. They all want to be in charge, no one wants to listen.
Finally, the Little Prince, newly settled in Paris, discovers life on Earth with his child's eyes. He recounts his first experiences.
The session leader, none other than Sigmund Freud, remains calm (as best he can...) in the face of increasingly improbable situations. He asks his questions, sifting through the confidences so that they fit perfectly into the thesis he is secretly writing.
As the consultations progress, a few unexpected interruptions disrupt the fragile order of the office...
An absurd and biting comedy, which parades emblematic figures of culture, fiction and history onto the couch — and which reveals to us the (almost) truth about the creation of one of the greatest intellectual revolutions of the 20th century.
