Léocadia

Presented by La Compagnie de L'Elan. Yes, mademoiselle... As long as we walk here, we are still in the park of the Château de Pont-au-Bronc... Immerse yourself in the poetic and melancholic world of Jean Anouilh with Léocadia.

An eccentric duchess attempts the impossible: to resurrect the memory of Léocadia, a young woman who died too soon, and who had deeply moved a prince's heart.

To achieve this, the Duchess hires Amanda, an unpretentious milliner, tasked with imitating the gestures, the gaze, and even the soul of the deceased. Between laughter, tears, and madness, Léocadia explores the fine line between memory and reality, between mourning and rebirth.

A disturbing, tender, and funny play about love's capacity to transcend absence, served by finely crafted dialogues and colourful characters. A show where the absurd becomes poignant, drawing you into a dance that is both melancholic and resolutely unusual.
