December at the Théâtre des Muses

|Beethoven the Gypsy

An unlikely and humorous encounter between Ludwig and Django. In heaven, Ludwig Van Beethoven and Django Reinhardt dislike each other heartily. But with St Peter’s birthday approaching, they will need to play together under the baton of the angel and double bass player whose role is to ensure that rehearsals run smoothly. The deaf genius and the gypsy virtuoso lend themselves to a mix of genres, featuring plenty of swing and humour.

From the Ninth Symphony to the Moonlight Sonata, by way of Letter to Elise, three outstanding musicians breathe joyous, fresh new life into Beethoven. 

Directed by Hugues Voreux

|Moby Dick 

Moby Dick, a complete masterpiece and great adventure novel, tells the story of an obsession: after a ferocious sperm whale bites off Captain Ahab’s leg, the Captain pursues it with unrelenting hatred and fury. He brings along sailors who are gradually caught up in the maelstrom of this craze for revenge.

In this captivating, funny tale, filled with a strange wisdom, Melville asks the big questions about human existence and creates a new myth that will live on in human memory: that of the white whale. This new production from Les Vagabonds will take you on a journey to the centre of the ocean, amid the roar of its storms, into the ultimate clash between man and the great white leviathan. In the maelstrom of the human soul, between nightmare and reality, we brush against these fears, these hatreds, these quests and these hopes.

"Moby Dick is the symbol of all things. Is it any wonder, then, that he is being hunted down ferociously?"

|A Midsummer Night's Dream 

Les Inspirés present a magical, romantic and joyful dream, based on the William Shakespeare’s celebrated play.

Nothing is going well in the land of love! Nothing is going well in the land of love! Demetrius loves Hermia wholeheartedly, but Hermia is infatuated with Lysander, who is, in turn, besotted with Helena, who dreams of seducing Demetrius. As if this misadventure in love was not enough, from their lofty eternity, Oberon and Titania, the quarrelsome lovers of the forest, take delight in the heartaches of the mere mortals, sending in the fanciful Puck after them.

To ensure maximum confusion, an amateur theatre troupe finds itself mixed up in this mess, the outcome of which will reveal the fate of each protagonist. Will Love win the day?
