Madame de Sade, by Stanislas Nordey, at the Bouffes du Nord

Six women speak of the Marquis de Sade, who never appears on stage: Mishima explores why the wife, who remained faithful during twenty years of imprisonment, leaves on the day of his release.

Yukio Mishima writes a play where the man is everywhere and never present. Around the Marquise are her mother, her sister, a devout baroness, a libertine countess, and a servant: six women who speak of him on the eve of the Revolution, each recounting a different side of Sade. Stanislas Nordey brings together Mélanie Thierry, Anne Brochet, Sophie Mihran, Julie Pouillon, Lamya Regragui and Claire Toubin. Created in Annecy in October.

Also featured in our selection of new shows.
