BEZIERS
Phèdre! is Racine?s tragedy? told by a passionate, funny and admiring speaker. Alone on stage, Romain Daroles transforms a lecture into a theatrical performance.
With humor, erudition and enthusiasm, he explores Racine’s language, mythological genealogies and the power of passion. Gradually, carried away by his love of the text, he begins to embody the characters, to play the alexandrines, and to convey, with communicative joy, all the beauty of this masterpiece.
Phèdre ! is not a tragedy, but a vibrant tribute to the power of live theater, where we laugh, marvel and rediscover a classic. A generous, funny and enlightened moment of sharing, at the crossroads of lecture, theater solo and declaration of love for the stage.
