Description
Stendhal's classic novel condensed into a mad quest for social advancement by a romantic and proud hero.
It all begins at the end. 1830. Besançon. Julien Sorel is on trial for attempting to murder his former lover. The sentence will be the maximum. But more than this failed murder, it is the social ascent of this carpenter's son, brutalized by his father, that is in the crosshairs of the bourgeois court. He has dared to cross the barriers of his class. And it is just as he is about to be ennobled by the La Môle family that he is overtaken by his ambitious nature.
A great novel of passionate love and consuming ambition, Stendhal's work has become a classic. In an adaptation condensed into a mad quest for social advancement by a romantic and proud hero, Catherine Marnas revives its brilliance and timeless power. On stage, five actors bring to life Stendhal's prose as well as contemporary contradictions.
