Colette et Willy

The show takes place in the autumn of 1902, at the time when Colette cut her hair to adopt her iconic hairstyle. This added to her desire for emancipation, and verbal sparring matches with her husband of the time multiplied. Henry Gauthier-Villars, known as Willy, signed the famous Claudine stories under his own name, and not that of his wife.

On stage, the two actors play, sing, and perform 5 characters. The author drew free inspiration from the lives of these two figures of French literature, while remaining as faithful as possible to their history and the accuracy of the dates.
