Le château des Carpathes
Combining theater, singing and jazz music, this contemporary adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel takes us into a gripping suspense story.
About this event
In a village in Transylvania, Baron de Gortz’s castle is the talk of the town. For several days, smoke has been rising from it. Is it inhabited again—or haunted? Determined to uncover the mystery surrounding this strange residence, Count Franz de Telek embarks on a perilous expedition.
Fascinated by this work, Émilie Capliez plays with the conventions of Jules Verne’s world. In this musical theater production, created in collaboration with trumpeter Airelle Besson, she has taken the liberty of updating the text to give greater prominence to the female characters. Amid a set in motion, three instrumentalists, one actress-singer and four actors bring this enchanting story to life, from an inn to a cabaret, from a deep forest to the castle. These sublime scenes reveal the author’s timeless charm and his taste for adventure, nourished by science and fantasy.
On Friday the 18th: audio description of the performance by Audrey Laforce, preceded by a tactile tour of the set at 6:15 p.m.
