Théâtre : "La folle journée ou le mariage de Figaro"

Play by Beaumarchais. Adapted and directed by Léna Bréban

With Philippe Torreton and 9 actors

Figaro wants to marry Suzanne, but the Count, fed up with the Countess, has his eye on her despite the abolition of the droit du cuissage.

Marceline wants to marry Figaro, who owes her money, and Basile wants Marceline. Young Fanchette attracts suitors, while Chérubin marvels. Beaumarchais denounces class struggle, corruption and the domination of the powerful. Then as now, women and the poor suffer the same assaults. Let's laugh rather than cry about it.

Léna Bréban is a French director and actress renowned for her work between classical and contemporary theater. She makes works accessible and lively, with modernity and sensitivity. Her stagings are distinguished by their precision and direction of the actors.
