L'Empereur des Boulevards

L’EMPEREUR DES BOULEVARDS OR THE INCREDIBLE FATE OF GEORGES FEYDEAU Did you know his work? Discover his life! At the Théâtre des Variétés, Tailleur pour Dames triumphs and marks the beginning of the incredible career of a certain Georges Feydeau.

Imprisoned by his irrepressible need for recognition, L’Empereur des Boulevards spreads its wings over a festive, easygoing Paris.

Torn between his love for his wife, his nocturnal conquests and his troublesome characters, Georges looks back over his life and the illustrious figures who marked his path, a path touched by promise, success, failure and comebacks. From the fashionable salons of Maxim's to the capital's great stages, from his friendship with the Guitrys to his fateful encounter with an angel of the night, from his peak to his downfall, take a leap back in time to discover the man behind the successful playwright. A show with 26 characters, paying tribute to the master of the genre, somewhere between drama and comedy.
