Lecture dans un fauteuil : Octave Mirbeau

A reading aloud devoted to the French writer Octave Mirbeau, offered to young audiences at Le Bocal, a theatre in Nice.

This reading, given at Le Bocal, a Nice theatre, is devoted to Octave Mirbeau, a French writer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who was at once a novelist, journalist and playwright. The title points to a simple form: a reading, rather than a staged play, offered from an armchair.

The show is aimed at young audiences. It sets out to discover an author through texts read aloud on stage, in a register of reading aloud that leaves room for the spoken word and for listening, with no set or announced character performance.

Le Bocal presents this offering as part of its programme of shows in Nice, in a theatre in the city.
