Description

"They said nobody would go, it was impossible... So I went anyway."
A prodigious masterpiece by Victor Hugo, this one-man show is the dazzling tale of a man pushed beyond his limits. Gilliatt, a character as gruff as he is sensitive, secretly loves a young woman to whom he has never dared speak. A ship is wrecked. Its owner promises the young woman's hand in marriage to whoever saves the vessel. Gilliatt then rushes out to sea, where a storm is raging, to try and salvage the wreck... This is the beginning of an adventure fraught with the most extreme perils. A true tour de force, Elya Birman brings this monumental work within the confines of her solo performance, and the narrow stage accommodates the immensity of this novel, which borrows its dimensions and power from the sea. A breathtaking plunge into the heart of human nature and the mysteries of the world.
