Phèdre !

In this reinterpretation presented as a mock lecture on Racine's masterpiece, the tragedy becomes a zany monologue. A little gem of wit, knowledge and inventiveness, this Phèdre! deserves its exclamation point. Acting alone on stage, Romain Daroles captivates the audience with his multiplicity of roles, incongruous comparisons with our own times and delightful wordplay. As erudition is not soluble in humor, a veritable précis of classical theater is also revealed: mythological genealogy, the virtues of the alexandrine, the notion of catharsis? With this mischievous lecturer, you'll want to relearn everything through theater, with a smile.
