The director, Richard Brunel, who had already successfully staged Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélies in the city’s theatre in 2015, is full of ideas (…): a set design dotted with numerous details and symbols, magnificently emphasizing its eroticism.

Many minor characters take on a new dimension in Brunel’s production.

A must-see!
