Eye Haïdara and Serge Hazanavicius star in Magnifique at the Théâtre Montparnasse from January 8, 2027. An adaptation of the novel by Jean-Félix de La Ville Baugé about a woman who reveals her past to her husband.

Eye Haïdara will take the stage in Magnifique at the Théâtre Montparnasse in Paris starting on January 8, 2027. Serge Hazanavicius is adapting and directing the novel by Jean-Félix de La Ville Baugé for the stage, with Annick Kayitesi collaborating on the adaptation and Céline Gaudier handling the staging.

Magnifique lives by Lake Geneva and is about to undergo a minor operation. Before the procedure, she decides to write to her husband what she has never told him. Her story looks back at the events that led to their meeting, twenty-eight years earlier, in the hills of Rwanda.

This voice long kept inside becomes the heart of the play. It brings together the story of a couple, a past marked by violence and the possibility of building a life after surviving it. The adaptation thus shifts from the intimacy of a letter to the presence of a woman who speaks directly to the audience.

Eye Haïdara shares the cast with Serge Hazanavicius, Eurialle Livaudais and Cheik Ahmed Thani. The project brings the director and the actress together around this tale of memory, transmission and love, brought to the stage in the 14th arrondissement.
