"We're all part Cyrano". It is with this conviction that Compagnie Geppetto tackles Edmond Rostand's masterpiece. In this original adaptation, the character of Cyrano is no longer alone on stage: 14 figures accompany him, interacting with him and bringing his torments to life. With its pared-down scenography, fantastical influences and contemporary musical creation, this version promises an intense immersion in the world of the famous poet with the big nose.

The staging takes a fresh approach to the text, placing Cyrano at the center of a group that evolves with him, reflecting his emotions and doubts. The great tirades thus become moments of sharing, where each character vibrates with the hero. The music, with its contemporary, dreamlike tones, reinforces this suspended atmosphere, where fantasy rubs shoulders with the poetry of the text.
This adaptation will appeal as much to lovers of classical theater as to those seeking a modern, immersive approach. Thanks to its streamlined staging and bold artistic direction, Cyrano par la Compagnie Geppetto offers a fresh take on a universal, timeless and profoundly human character. Those who love theatrical experiences that transcend the text will find here a show that is both faithful and innovative.
