Dans la loge de Marie Dorval

Marie Dorval, the famous 19th century actress, friend of George Sand and mistress of Alfred de Vigny, invites us into her dressing room: an intimate and secret sanctuary, antechamber of every fear, and usually off-limits to the public.

Through the story of her life and theatrical anecdotes, she openly evokes her daily existence as an actress, her loves, her joys, her sorrows, and the challenges of embracing her choices as a free woman in an era so unsuited to emancipation.

Her imminent entrance on stage, the unexplained absence of her dresser, and the pressure of creditors who will inevitably drag her back to brutal reality after the curtain falls, will heighten the already raw emotions of this actress whom Victor Hugo himself hailed as the "Plus grande actrice de ce temps".
