Notes:
Lady Margaret is staying at a hotel on the Norman coast, and when she meets the bellboy who takes her luggage to her room, she falls in love with the young man at first sight.
This morose and ironic situation will be the beginning of an intense, crazy, obsessive, almost absurd relationship that leaves the protagonists at the edge of tragedy.
Cristian Siméon (already known in Argentina for his creation "The Cabaret of Lost Men") tells this disenchanted tale covered in dialogues tailor-made by Michel Fau (the actor whom the play was originally written for). The songs that tell the story are signed by Michel Rivgauche and other lyricists for the timely music of Jean Pierre Stora.
Drama and melancholy, arrogance and grotesque, tragedy... this is Hotel Neurotik, a true ode to kitsch, transformism in all its splendor, realism in its stark version, music hall and a declaration of eternal love to the French song.
In a frank mix of irony, aestheticism and theatricality, Hotel Neurotik is enriched with unpublished songs and knife-cut dialogues that revisit the great stereotypes of the melodramatic game: from sentimental overflow to stubbornness rather than exaggeration.
Hotel Neurotik evokes the Genet who said that each individual is nothing more than a superimposition of masks, the poet Baudelaire in his eulogy of makeup and Copi for whom "the greatest authenticity expresses itself only through the highest artifice".
Hotel Neurotik lights up with humor as an ally the darkest and most obsessive aspect of relationships.
Hotel Neurotik ... what wouldn't you do for love?
