Je Suis Un Merle Blanc

Alfred de Musset, the author of 'Lorenzaccio' and 'On ne badine pas avec l’amour', has just ended his passionate liaison with George Sand. He doubts, he aches, he loses the plot…

This highly entertaining tale throws us into his ups and downs in an utterly farcical world. Musset is the merle blanc -the white blackbird- cast off by all, hopping from glory to solitude, from joy to gloom.

In this one woman show, Edith Vernes shifts from one character to the next, taking us to the heart of this ‘road-movie’, funny, poetic and terribly modern. We laugh, we dream, we tremble and wonder… is there not a white blackbird within each of us?

Performed in French with English Surtitles.
