AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE - By The CATALYST

Описание: An adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play.
Adapted and Directed by Adria C. Le Boeuf for The Catalyst Theatre Company

The new startup incubator BioInnovate is ready for their first
major success story. The Emote, a novel brain-machine interface to
treat depression and other mental illnesses, is just finishing
clinical trials when the outspoken and charismatic Dr. Elise
Stockmann, staff scientist, reveals what she thinks may be very
serious behavioural side-effects. At first hailed as excellent news,
considering the product hasn't yet gone to market, soon everyone in
the small entrepreneurial community has turned on her, trying to
keep her quiet for the good of the company--and for the good
of everyone's wallet.

This adaptation of Ibsen's classic play about the failings of the
majority is here transposed into our time and set in our
hypothetical backyard. If we were stockholders, would we want Dr.
Stockmann kept quiet?

« The majority is never right. That's one of these lies in society
that no free and intelligent person can help rebelling against. Who
are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population
-- the intelligent ones or the fools? »

Filmed at the Grange de Dorigny, Lausanne, May 4th, 2014 as part of the Festival Fecule.

Filming and editing by Olivier Werro of Realisation Werro.
