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

Diderot’s light is illuminating, and we’ll all come away smiling!
In an unusual theatre full of charm and history, Diderot engages in a sparkling, funny and explosive conversation.
‘This dialogue explodes like a bomb in the midst of French literature’, as Goethe put it.
In two hundred years, it hasn’t aged a bit!

LE FIGARO – The most eagerly awaited plays of the autumn. “Nicolas Vaude has given Diderot’s text a cult following. He reprises it with Gabriel Le Doze and harpsichordist Olivier Baumont, conducted by Jean-Pierre Rumeau. A high-flying philosophical debate.”
LE CANARD ENCHAÎNÉ “Sublime masterpiece”
TELERAMA “Dazzling conversation”
LES ECHOS “Impressive”
RTL “Nicolas Vaude, one of our best actors”
FRANCE INFO “To see and see again”
