The Portrait of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde's only novel finally brought to the stage.

About

Through the magic of a wish, Dorian retains the grace and beauty of his youth. Only his portrait will age. The dandy then indulges in all manner of experiments...

Wilde said: «Dorian Gray contains too much of myself, Basil is what I think I am, Harry is what people think I am and Dorian is what I wish I were...»

With over 100,000 spectators already, after the Lucernaire, the Comédie and the Studio des Champs-Elysées, the Artistic-Athévains, the Théâtre La Bruyère, three years on tour and 5 Avignon festivals, it's back at the Ranelagh!

Don't miss this remarkable adaptation of the brilliant Portrait of Dorian Gray. Rarely has the mythological significance of Oscar Wilde's novel been so well embodied, and the play is as enjoyable to watch as the actors are to perform.

Brilliant! Everything is just perfect! The adaptation, the set, the lighting, the direction - the actors are magnificent!

Rêves« by Compagnie Inshi is THE best show I've seen at the Festival d'Avignon this year (2025). Thomas le Douarec, who, in addition to his immense talent, never hesitates, in all humility and warmth, to share a few moments with his audience after the show. Thank you, Sir, for your kindness and this great moment of theatre.

Go there...
