Madame Bovary
The main character of Madame Bovary? The novel itself! Taking on the question of adaptation, Hugo Mallon literally brings the book to the stage and conjures up worlds in an augmented reading for five performers, a film studio and a live music set. The living embodiment of the Flaubert effect!
"Flaubert again, Madame Bovary, at last"... A fervent passer of texts, Hugo Mallon returns to Flaubert, after a striking Éducation sentimentale created at Le Phénix in 2018. In this new "novel-performance", he entrusts the reading to actresses and actors in relay, when they aren't embodying the novel's colorful characters. He also calls on other forms of expression - cinema, music - as many points of view offered up to the public's freedom. It's a delightful full-length experience that invites us to immerse ourselves in the very substance of literary emotion.
