Walt, Disney’s Madness: Snow White on Stage at La Huchette

Walt, Disney’s Madness is staged at the Théâtre de la Huchette in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, running through November 21, 2026. Clément Vieu portrays Walt Disney in this solo show by Fanny Dupin and Damien Maric, directed by Victoire Berger-Perrin.

The play centers on the creation of Snow White. It follows a project that stretches beyond the short-film format long associated with cartoons, pitting its creator against a string of obstacles. The narrative focuses on Walt and his studio, caught between artistic ambition and the struggle to bring the film to completion.

This choice provides a precise entry point into Disney's journey: the making of a film, rather than a broad panorama of his entire career. On stage, Clément Vieu carries this story alone, with a setup that blends video, music, and sound design.

The set design is by Juliette Azzopardi and Jean-Benoît Thibaud; Eric Capone provides the music, and Nathalie Cabrol handles the video. The show runs 1 hour and 10 minutes. The Paris revival is scheduled for 9 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, in the venue on Rue de la Huchette, near Saint-Michel.
