BEL-AMI

Friday, October 9 at 8:30 PM
Duration: 1H20
Ages 12 and up

The play opens with a choreographed tableau: a Parisian alley comes to life, rhythmically animated by the nuances of bodies, themselves a reflection of a social fresco in which individuals are judged - and often reduced - to their mere appearance.

In a society shaped by men, women assert themselves here as essential figures. The direction, marked by great precision and signed by Claudie Russo-Pelosi, relies on a remarkable cast and a breath of modernity, all within a resolutely cabaret atmosphere.

Making his way in the newspaper La Vie Française, Georges Duroy, a young provincial without a penny, arrives in 1880s Paris with the ambition to make a name for himself. But behind this facade lies a man with limitless ambitions, ready to do anything to succeed.

Acclaimed by the press, professionals, and the public, the play boldly and sensitively navigates the ambition and social ascent of its protagonist.

In this essential work by Maupassant, Bel-Ami paints the portrait of one of the greatest social climbers of 19th-century Paris, whose vices still resonate today.
