Espaces Culturels – Théâtre : Virginie et Paul

Love stories are always a bit the same... Here, only the first names change!

Paul and Virginie invite their friends, Paul and Virginie, to dinner. Paul, Virginie's husband, is in love with the other Virginie, and his wife Virginie is courted by the other Paul...

The four roles, two men and two women, are played by only two singer-actors, who give the illusion of the presence of two distinct couples.

Virginie et Paul has a major particularity: a play is performed within a play, so two productions must be conducted simultaneously so as not to "lose" the spectator and allow him to savor the great fantasy of the writing.

To add to the joy of these crisscrossings, the singers are accompanied musically by three talented musicians present on stage. You will have the pleasure of finding the Villefranchois saxophonist, François Chambert.

A musical comedy as we love it, which enchants us with song and leaves us drunk with happiness.
