Cyrano de Bergerac

Some of its lines hit like punchlines, others are known by heart, and its popularity is matched only by that of its best-known film adaptations.
Lola Giouse and her team have seized on this light-hearted text, too long reduced to the bravura performance of a major actor.
They confront it with our contemporary utopias to make it resonate in a new way: live music, addresses to the audience, and an all-female cast anchor the show in the present and give the love triangle formed by Cyrano, Roxane, and Christian a resolutely queer and feminist perspective.

When she was a teenager, Giouse played Cyrano, a role that opens up possibilities for an actress. In this show, the director reappropriates her own story, offering a joyous, collective revenge, and giving each of her characters the opportunity to multiply their identities, write their own score, and express their love.
