Cyrano

After exploring Dennis Kelly's stripped-down writing in DNA, Marie Mahé takes on one of the most famous works of our repertoire. While Rostand's words remain, the narrative thread is tightened around the love triangle and the relentless mechanics of desire.

What devastation can a love cause when lived solely through words? Here, language becomes the very arena of conflict, the battlefield of an impossible romance between insecure people uncomfortable in their own skin. In this fresh adaptation that upends expectations, Cyrano is an eloquent woman, an angry idealist. Roxane is a French teacher striving to better integrate.

As for Christian, he feels more at home in his body than with speech. Verbal bravado, fascination with failure, lack of self-confidence—themes so familiar to all of us, especially in youth. A multidisciplinary creation blending dance, song, and theatre to rediscover Cyrano, that deeply fascinating swordsman of words!
