Heteroclite Sum of Kaleidoscopic Aspect Hoping to Partially Synthesize the Remarkable Accomplishments of the Eponym

About

Pure genius or mere figurehead, marvellous troupe leader or second-rate actor, mad adventurer or unworthy husband... Shakespeare is full of mystery. He is the stuff that dreams are made of and to apprehend him is to try to grasp a shadow which, over time, has melted into air, subtle air... This air is drawn from the figures of his theatre and the familiar pieces of his plays. «To be or not to be, «Mon royaume pour un cheval», «L'alouette et le rossignol», «L'hiver de notre déplaisir».»... - come from the mouths of his contemporaries: his wife, his troupe, Marlowe, his protectors, Queen Elizabeth, King James... to tell the story of the man whom posterity will call «the divine bard» but who was above all this excellent William!

The whole world is a theatre, Shakespeare wrote, and it is in his theatre that three actors and a musician set out to imagine his world, with the sole hope of finding a solution. the breath of your kindness whispers. Otherwise, they'll have missed their goal: to please you.

Press coverage

HUMANITY «The strength of the project lies in capturing the essential angles of the great Will's work in front of a captivated audience.«

THE PROVENCE «This chronological and educational biography is told with brio and never vulgar or forced humour. A fine work from all points of view.»

COUP DE THEATRE «This slightly wacky approach to his work would certainly have pleased William.»

THE OLIVE EYE «The theatrical celebration works wonderfully. This show, along with the first two, is on the bill of the only Elizabethan theatre in Paris, Le Ranelagh, so go and see it.»

THE GOOD PARISIAN PLAN «Shakespeare is not set in the marble of tradition. He is alive, bubbling, in motion. By revisiting his works with boldness and creativity, this Parisian theatre offers audiences a unique experience in which classical history becomes fertile ground for the contemporary imagination.. »

THE SHOW REVIEW «A beautiful reinvention of dreamlike art».»

NEWS IN BRIEF «The whole show is full of inventiveness, humour and generosity.»

NOM D'UNE PLUME «A free and impertinent portrait of the Elizabethan playwright».»
