Albert Camus's The Plague makes a triumphant return to the Parisian stage in a new adaptation by the Camus en scène Company. This production is running at La Scène Parisienne from January 12 to February 10, 2026. Crafted and directed by Augustin Grandgeorge, this theatrical interpretation delves into humanity's struggle against inevitable fate and the importance of collective solidarity in times of crisis.
In the city of Oran, struck by an epidemic, doctors, priests, and residents are confronted with fear, absurdity, and death. The staging adopts a refined form, somewhere between ancient tragedy and philosophical meditation, highlighting the universal resonance of Camus's text. The seven performers take turns embodying the characters in the novel, in a collective stage script where words flow like a testimony.
The cast includes Gaspard Maraval, Louis Lebrun, Yves Chesnot, Colombe Mille, Victor Hondré, Gabrielle François, and Augustin Grandgeorge. Produced by Compagnie Camus en scène, the show highlights the moral and poetic tension of a work that questions our relationship to freedom, responsibility, and humanity in times of crisis.
The show will be running at La Scène Parisienne from January 12 to February 10, 2026.
