Isabelle Huppert in BERENICE at the Holland Festival

On the dark and smoke-filled stage, Isabelle Huppert’s Berenice is mesmerising and haunting. Her ghoulish, solemn tone switches from soft melancholy to rage and misery in the blink of an eye. Huppert’s extraordinary voice has such force that it booms and bellows throughout the theatre, leaving the audience in no doubt of Berenice’s agony.
