As the year draws to a close, take a trip down memory lane with the play "L'Incroyable Épopée de François 1er", staged at the prestigious Théâtre de la Contrescarpe from November 11 to April 29, 2024. Rémi Mazuel and Alain Péron, both playwrights and directors, have taken up the challenge of telling the story of this French king, who left his mark on history, in an audacious and burlesque way.
Be warned: this epic is not a simple retranscription of historical facts, but rather a lively, modern historical comedy that brings to life the life of François 1er. It's a fun way to discover the various aspects of his incredible destiny, from his rise to the throne to his tumultuous love affairs, and his famous encounters with such notorious historical figures as Louise de Savoie, Marguerite de Navarre and Leonardo da Vinci, to name but a few.
The show is carried off at arm's length by a talented cast: Anaïs Alric, known for her passionate, embodied acting, Fanette Jouniaux-Maerten, who brings all her subtlety to the interpretation of the historical figures, and a soundtrack by Yannick Cognet - whose sense of melody and rhythm help create an atmosphere that is sometimes comical, often amusing - and you have a play that stands out for both the richness of its content and the originality of its staging.
L'Incroyable Épopée de François 1er " is on view from November 11 to April 29, 2024, for all those interested in French history, first or second degree. This comedy brings François 1er and his era to life with an inventiveness and wit that will delight young and old alike, on the stage of the Théâtre de la Contrescarpe.
