Presentation
Do you enjoy fairy tales such as Perrault’s "Sleeping Beauty" and the Brothers Grimm’s "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"… but do you know their Neapolitan predecessor?
In the 17th century, Giambattista Basile was the first to compile, in sumptuous literary language, tales drawn from the oral tradition.
His *Tale of Tales* brings to life myrtle branches that transform into princesses, fairies with infectious laughter, gluttonous and drunken ogres, and a whole gallery of characters, both tender and grotesque.
At once baroque, tragic, marvellous and joyfully subversive, this teeming universe is a theatrical goldmine. In an inventive production, the Conservatoire’s actors share some of these tales. An opportunity to delve into the fantastical roots of Western storytelling.
Coordination: Stanislas Sauphanor
