The Secrets of the Medusa
Everyone knows the painting, but no one knows the story...

Cyrano is a fearless musketeer in the company of the Cadets of Gascony. He is in love with his cousin Roxane but doesn’t dare declare himself to her… so beautiful… and he so ugly with his enormous nose. Out of love and despair, he agrees to protect Christian, his rival, and even helps him to seduce Roxane.
Songs, music, fights, ten actors and a virtuoso violinist serve up this eminently sonorous, rhythmic and faithful version of Rostand’s masterpiece!
